Much is discussed about Mercedes' reliability, but they haven't had a car-related DNF yet! Though Hamilton did start last in China due to qualifying problems.
Lewis has at least 15 places of grid penalties coming sooner or later. Rosberg is on course to complete the season without engine penalties, barring any more unexpected failures.
