Rosberg's suspension failure was not yellow-kerb related. But he did go over the more traditional kerb.
It can't just be a coincidence, can it?

Having watched the Kvyat incident again, it's on the left wheels that go over the yellow kerb.
So the sheer shock to the car causes the suspension to go on the other side

The clock is stopped on the red flag with one minute 44 seconds of Q1 remaining.
The six in the drop zone are:
Magnussen, Palmer, Haryanto, Kvyat, Ericsson, Nasr.
Damaged pride for Kvyatpublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 2 July 2016

And he’ll be wanting to know from his team what happened because 71 laps is a long time and you want to have confidence in your car.

Speaking of Sergio Perez, he's just spoken to Sky Sports.
He was asked if drivers should just avoid the yellow baguettes.
"you need to set limits, because if you tell us to avoid them we will just ignore it," he says.

Robin Best: If the kerbs are breaking the suspension, then stay on the track and off the kerbs, they are after all after the track edge.
Phil Slocombe: I don´t think I'd feel very confident driving any car that has suspension held together by Gaffa tape, let alone a race car.

Kvyat goes wide into Turn Eight and bumps over those yellow kerbs that caused Max Verstappen grief yesterday.
His rear suspension on the right side buckles and then sends him through the gravel and into the wall.

That breaks the right rear suspension – so that isn’t 100% Danil’s fault.

"It looks like it was a right-rear suspension failure," Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost tells Sky Sports.

Kvyat's Toro Rosso is crumpled into a wall with smoke pouring out the back. His rear-right wheel is messy.

The middle sector is the one where you’ve got all the breaking and turning. If they can tidy that up they could be on to something.
