Let's be honest, stuff like this is why the idea of limiting team radio communication was a bad idea. Lewis Hamilton's team radio during Monaco qualifying in the official Formula One 2014 season review proves that Hamilton believes Rosberg went off intentionally to screw him out of pole.
At the Monaco Grand Prix this year, Rosberg had secured the fastest lap in qualifying, but his teammate Lewis Hamilton was on a flying run that would have likely been faster. Rosberg locked up a wheel and went off at Mirabeau, which immediately raised an eyebrow from Hamilton. The off caused a yellow flag that forced Hamilton to slow down, killing his chances for pole.
Monaco isn't just one of the most historic races on the calendar—it has perhaps the fewest opportunities to pass as well. Getting pole is a big deal because it's intensely difficult to get around the pole-sitter in the actual race.
Hamilton was told, "Yellow, yellow, turn five" over the radio. After noticing Rosberg's car parked in the slip-road, Hamilton responded, "Ah, that was very good of him. Very good."
Lewis maintains that this off was intentional and that it was a major contributing factor in the rivalry that developed between himself and Rosberg.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, the stewards were to find any evidence of wrongdoing in Rosberg's off. Some felt it was the same sort of thing as Michael Schumacher's controversial parking at Rascasse, where he caused a yellow flag that kept Fernando Alonso from taking pole in 2006. It was too ambiguous to determine if Rosberg's off was the same thing.

Now we at least know Hamilton's side of the story, though: he suspected that move wasn't kosher immediately when he saw it.
