.. and Skunny kart!

I hope Rosberg gets the book thrown at him and drops to 3rd (or 4th). However, I suspect it will be a grid penalty for the next race. So no real penalty IMHO.

ROS was told not to use 7th gear. Does that deserve a penalty? Was it assisting the driver, or protecting the car?

I guess the problem was not "critical" as per #1
 
I suspect the first message might have been OK.
Confirming he had to shift thru 7th was not

The stewards have agreed with you:

‘The stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, heard from the driver and team representatives and examined audio evidence, have considered the following matter, determine a breach of the regulations has been committed.
‘Reason: Having considered the matter extensively, the stewards determined that the team gave some instructions to the driver that we specifically permitted under Technical Directive 014-16.
‘However, the Stewards determined that the team went further and gave instructions to the driver that were not permitted under the Technical Directive, and were in Breach of Art. 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.’
