Four out of four from my betting preview. Only a Hamilton and Webber crash in the last few laps could have spoiled it.
Good race overall and plenty of incident after the restart.
I don't think they have.

Rosberg celebrating makes me happy. Hate the rest of the podium though.

They were cruising around +4 seconds off their ultimate pace. The race was a farce.
Perez was doing an amazing race until he blew it trying to overtake Kimi when there was no room. Great work by Kimi recovering until 10th place.
Mercedes finally does a great race and Rosberg deserves this win.
Alonso wasn't on his days. Ferrari wasn't on its days.
Glad that prick of Vettel didn't win

Mercedes sorted nothing. There was a time Nico was doing 1:23 when he should be doing 1:19.
If they repeat that next race...
As for Perez, Alonso giving him the position was ultimately a bad thing. Perez did something harsh and was awarded for it, which lead him to think it was ok to keep pushintg people on that turn. And a crash was the obvious outcome.
We will see in Canada. Hamilton destroyed his when he was chasing Webber.
Not going to happen.
Perez isn't anywhere near Maldonado or Grosjean in terms of incidents. The crash outside the tunnel was a very poor choice, I'll admit, but he performed really well at Sauber and he's going to do well at McLaren.
Brawn is getting ready for rocky week
More like garbage truck

He deserves a penalty for the last one though. I'd prefer a financial one for now since he isnt really prone to these as you say, yet he needs to be punished.
Yeah, watching it again I can concede that his final Kimi move was a little bit too optimistic, but I really don't think he was being reckless or dangerous with his other moves and it was certainly nowhere near Maldonado or Grosjean level driving.

I hate the guy, but to be fair he had no other realistic choice.
"You expect 2 silver arrows in front of you and today it was two buses going on a cruise" said in reference to the start and the first few laps.
Highlight of the race. Fuck Perez.
lol
Eh, financial penalties never really felt like 'penalties' to me. I think five places would be appropriate. Isn't that what Schumacher got last year for going up someones ass? Up to the stewards, though.
Only because he had to try and get in front to win the race. Had he got past he would have done exactly the same bloody thing.
Long way to go. Hamilton will be back. He's as fast as anybody.

With the right tyres we would have a nice fight between Mercedes and Red bull but instead we have Vettel who makes so many points as possible and two other drivers in slower but tire saving cars.
I don't think anyone blamed Mercedes for doing it.
Perez' move on Kimi was fine, Kimi drifted over to the left as if Perez didn't exist. Rosberg just flat out dominated this weekend, really impressive win from him. Hamilton, Alonso and Button all off form today.
Oh, and Chilton is still a pleb. As is Grosjean.
I'm going to fall places in the predictions league as per usual.
Lol.

Perez' aggressive driving is him taking chances that are out of his control. Those overtakes were him braking so late he blocked the entire turn forcing the other driver to avoid. Sure collisions only avoided by drivers in control of their driving. Ended surely like expected for him.
A tenth and it would have been the other way around. Rosberg has been looking much more at peace with the car (solid and stable times throughout all race weekends). 3/3 for qualifying and definitely the strongest driver lineup currently.

What happened to Alonso?
Getting passed so many times in Monaco where cars that are seconds slower can defend positions.

I couldn't actually see it on my screen? Was there something wrong with the car for sure?
Looked like something wrong with left front suspension
And kimi went too fast under the safety car, has to go to the stewards
