If you think that, then I'm sorry but you have no idea about F1. We've seen this kind of thing over and over again over the years. If that car is parked there and another car loses it and crashed into it, hell may very well break lose. Even if the chance of that ever happening is small, they would never ever risk it.
Even at tracks where there's a lot more space, enough for 4-5 hundred cars, the yellow flags are always out until the car/driver is safely out of the way. To even contemplate that the yellow flag might be pulled is wishful thinking at best, but more likely simply denial.
And why? Only to vilify Rosberg? Really, is that what you need in order to enjoy F1? I seriously get the feeling that the media (particularly the British) and many fans desperately want another Prost/Senna storyline and they seize every opportunity to construct that narrative. Interviews by Lewis are blown out of proportion and ludicrous headlines are printed that don't encapsulate at all what was being said, so now Rosberg retaliating by playing dirty fits in perfectly into that narrative. But then I rather enjoy the real thing in front of me than the fairy tale.
