Well, the two Finns can't help but crash into each other. Wonder, what the Finns themselves think of this.
Yeah I know it was a racing incident, but a perfect payback from Bottas, if I ever saw one. Räikkönen got a clear taste of 'karma' now!
Vettel had his worst race of the season, while I am impressed with Kvyat going well again.

It most certainly helps that rules are so that they don't really need to worry for a few years about other teams. In these circumstances it's easy not to favor one of the driver. If Ferrari or another will challenge them in the future more seriously we will see if they will stick to it.

The trouble is that leaves the team in an ungovernable situation. All trust between team and driver is lost. No strategy for the benefit of the team can be made because both drivers assume the other will ignore it.
Actually forget that. Here's hoping the Mercedes drivers do go out of control, allowing Kimi to steal the 2016 championship just like in '07

Actually I agree this could help Mercedes' situation and make the drivers more manageable. When team orders need to be issued, the strategists won't question them because they know they can be more easily fired than the drivers, and the drivers will be less inclined to question them if they come from their own strategist.

I hear what you are saying, but you seem to forget that the reason Hamilton had track position of leading the grand prix at that point of the race, was because Rosberg was called in first for new tyres. It would have been ugly for Hamilton to take advantage of this situation by not coming in when asked to. Rosberg also had the tyres to get to the end of the race had he not pitted. To be fair, Hamilton had to pit too in order for it not to look like the teams bringing about a Hamilton win on a day Rosberg was clearly dominant. Fair is fair and it cuts both ways.

Yeah but at Monaco the only reason Rosberg won was because of the team making a pit stop blunder. Do you think for a second Rosberg would have given Hamilton the lead back if he had come out in second place? Not on your life. I think Hamilton should have gone tough luck Nico and continued on. It would have leveled things out at least win wise.

Cool track. For once I am happy with the change. May they stay here for a long time!

I am not sure why you chaps keep going on about Monaco 2014. Hamilton won the drivers title in the end, hence it is water under the bridge as far as he is concerned. You have to let it go. He has also won the 2015 title, hence it would have been childish for him to spoil Rosberg's chance of putting some gap between himself and Vettel for the 2nd place spot. It would have been quite damaging to Hamilton's image if he had done that. We would been talking about what a selfish guy he was on this forum.
The truth is Hamilton had more to lose than gain from stealing the win from Rosberg at Mexico. It is really pointless.
