In the aftermath of the British Grand Prix the FIA stewards issued Nico Rosberg with a ten-second time penalty for violating the new rules regarding radio communications between the driver and the pit wall.The British GP stewards determined that the team gave some instructions to the driver that were specifically permitted under Technical Directive 014-16. However, the Stewards determined that the team then 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.In laymans terms, what that means is that Mercedes were fine to tell their driver to enter default modes, as that is permitted under the 2016 radio regs. Where they got into trouble was in telling Rosberg to avoid seventh gear, which earned the team their time penalty.The penalty promoted Max Verstappen to second place, and means that the Mercedes drivers are split by a single point going into the next race in Budapest. But that is the smallest of the likely ramifications resulting from Rosbergs radio penalty, which some paddock insiders feel could be the beginning of the end for the radio ruling.Shortly after the stewards decision was announced, Mercedes confirmed that they would appeal the penalty and, at the time of writing, it is expected that the team will do so. Championship points are championship points, after all, and points mean (financial) prizes.But what any appeal, successful or otherwise, will achieve is a group rethink -- in discussion form -- of the rights and wrongs of the radio rules as they stand.There is some suspicion in the paddock that Mercedes went tactical, deciding that it was worth taking whatever penalty would be given in order to avoid what could well have been a DNF for the No.6 car. Lose anything between three and ten points based on a time penalty, or lose anything up to 18? There is a strategic advantage to be found in the right kind of penalty...None of Mercedes on-track rivals are going to want to give the Silver Arrows any quarter, given that the team is already romping away with the constructors title and the cold, hard cash that championship points lead to.Speaking very much off the record, several high-ranking paddock insiders said on Sunday night that they expect the Mercedes penalty will eventually lead to one of two outcomes: either the current restrictions on radio communication will be scrapped, allowing the sort of radio traffic fans were used to hearing until the start of this season, or there will be a near total lockdown on pit-car communications, preventing any messages that dont immediately precede a component dangerously going BANG!.By and large, the teams would prefer to be able to communicate with their drivers, especially when it comes to performing in-race car fixes that help preserve those components -- such as power units and gearboxes -- that come with their own penalties for using too many in the course of a season.There is also a strong argument from a fan and broadcasting perspective for doing more with team radio. In a technologically complex sport, which comes with a rulebook that can best be described as labyrinthine, allowing fans access to intra-team comms gives those watching each grand prix a better chance of understanding the individual dynamics (and dramas) playing out on track.The radio ban was introduced with the best of intentions, improving the show by restoring the power -- and the gladiatorial status -- to the drivers, but it has also had an impact on the quality of the show, as was the case with Lewis Hamilton in Baku. Watching fans were denied what could have been a close on-track battle when the Briton worked his way through every setting his steering wheel offered in an attempt to reset his power unit settings during the Azeri street race.While Rosberg will be rueing the lost points in the title fight, his ten-second sacrifice could lead to the end of the current -- confusing -- radio rules.
