However, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff was okay with what Hamilton did, despite going against his team mate.
"It's good Lewis enquires about that because it's a lot of rules, and maybe what we should try to achieve is to simplify the rules and make them less [complicated]," he said. "So I was okay with what happened."
He also insisted that Rosberg did nothing wrong.
"The rules are the rules and they are very clear," said Wolff. "Nico complied 100% with the rules. He gave it a big lift under yellow and that is enough. Full stop.
Hamilton's visit to the stewards reportedly came before they had announced that Rosberg was under investigation, but thee three-time champion believes he didn't influence their decision.
"I don't believe that I influenced the stewards' enquiry," he said.
