Ohhhh. So that's why Vettel behaved like a Gran Turismo AI in the corner.

Starting to think its Hamilton's driving style causing these mechanical failures. Its Nico who does most of the off-season testing right? Which means the car development is built around the way Rosberg drives.

I really don't think that's a thing. He would've had issues all season last year, too.

What kind of driving style leads to water pump issues?

He also said his engineers are having a hard time.
Toto and Lauda fixed the WDC race this year!

The Austrian did look pretty Lauda-esque during the closing laps now that I think of it...
Button saying what I thought when I watched the Hamilton onboard. Going wide in turn 2 and going past the bollard is probably faster than going through with the pack on lap 1.
Rosberg had a MGU-K problem and he had to turn down the power unit.
The low water pressure may have damaged Hamilton's power unit rendering it unusable.

I'm sitting here waiting for his interview too. Maybe it's because everyone likes him too much. Can't make any drama out of him.
I mean seriously who gives a shit about Palmer in 13th? I wanna hear from Grosjean who saved it for Haas again.

I don't understand how a water leak stabilises itself. Chewing gum? Or was that an 80s movie plot?
Oh god, they interviewed him now! But it's way too late and the interviewer didn't wear the shorts I liked! Grrrr, Sky, so mean D:
I dare you guys to watch any kind of german F1 coverage, arguably the most successful country in F1. Sky UKs coverage is a godsend compared to them - and I'm not only talking about RTL, but about german Sky, too. Their F1 team consists of about 2 guys and a dog.

3 points on Kvyat's license.
as a German i can confirm. RTL is unwatchable with their commentary team and constant ads. They are biased as fuck too, unreasonably biased. It was at its worst during the Red Bull days of Vettel
Sky is good during the races but their pre and post race coverage is basically non-existant. They basically stopped having any kind of coverage worth watching around 2011 when they introduced Sky Sport News.
I think that they turned down the Nico's MGU-K unit just to be sure that it would last till the end of the race.
Lewis had engine #1 in car, with some additional parts from engine #2

Was that Christopher Walken driving that Ferrari?

And they are.
Ricciardo was forced to pit for repairs and dropped down the order, recovering only to 11th place due to the damage on his RB12.
"I expect an apology, put it that way," Ricciardo said of Kvyat's approach.
"I think he owes it to a few people today, so let's see.
"We had a lot of damage and had to pit. We thought we'd try the Medium [tyres] but that wasn't really working.
"Unfortunately the damage was so much that we didn't really learn anything from today's race and we don't know what our pace was."

...lacks reading comprehension.
They say the same shit after every race, it's starting to get annoying how lucky they are at barely finishing their double wins.
Toto-
''Wolff underlined that Rosberg had not been immune from mechanical trouble and had a scare at Sochi that could have cost him the race.
"We had a problem on Nico's car which gave us some grey hair during the race, a problem on the MGU-K drive," he said.
"And it looked at a certain stage that he wouldn't finish the race."
Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahhhahhhhahaahaha.

I'm watching the highlights on Channel 4 and I didn't notice until now that Mercedes lapped everyone but top 5. Performance convergence my ass.
Perfect.

Even more reasons for eliminating so many other cars as possible.
Here's a good video from the turn 3 grandstand of Kvyat going full Maldonado.
