Rosberg staying behind Hamilton was ridiculous. He could have sailed by Hamilton with no risk to either car. If Hamilton was under fueled tough shite! Why should Rosberg be penalised for that?
When you're paid as much as you are by these teams, you do what you're told or you go and drive for someone else.
As for the Team Orders, this used to happen covertly in the past (some examples more blatant than others, admittedly), but they would have coded signals to tell the drivers what to do. There's really no way of stopping this, so you might as well bite the bullet and let it happen openly.
