What a farce. Vettel effectively protected Rosberg from Verstappen. He screamed passed Ricciardo en Verstappen on the new supersofts, but at the tail of Rosberg he all of a sudden couldn't do anything anymore even if Hamilton was driven two seconds slower than he could (I would've done exactly the same in his situation after such a season).
I wonder if it was a deal between manufacturer Ferrari and (German) manufacturer Mercedes or between Rosberg and Vettel? To me Vettel kept Verstappen from attacking Rosberg and then making no serious effort himself.
Actively not interfering with the championship battle is interfering with the championship battle as well.
