Why Rosberg should leave Mercedes

By:

After another clash with his team-mate, it's time for Nico Rosberg to leave Mercedes and assist Ferrari in addressing its own weaknesses

So another grand prix, another 'moment' between Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

What happened showed exactly why Rosberg, who is out-of-contract at the end of the year, should head for pastures new. That might sound like strange advice, but it makes a lot of sense.
