What on earth is Putin doing in there? They don't normally have any dignitaries in that room do they? TBH it's a disgrace that F1 is in Russia at all, let alone giving Putin more publicity.
 
Well that was turd, don't think it would've been any different if Rosberg didn't screw up and Hamilton would've out performed him as usual

He would have but all the problems for that team have come from them racing each other. They are the only cars that can challenge each other so they only time they race on the limit is when they are behind each other(and since the relationship went to crap :p ). They would have been doing fastest laps, been a minute ahead of Bottas, but they'd be pushing their tires, they'd be overheating engines, they'd be pushing the fuel limit, they'd be closer to making mistakes, locking up, etc.

I think Williams probably messed up bottas's race by thinking they were safe from Rosberg and letting him go easy, assuming he had to pit again and not fighting harder for track position when Rosberg came up to him and not pushing him earlier. Had Bottas faught him, taken 5 laps to pass him and kept closer Rosberg's tires would have that much less life in them. He let him past WAY to easily.

But then, Rosberg again threw his car up the inside almost dangerously late and forced the other car into avoiding action, he then also left no room on the exit at all and pushed yet another driver off the track.

Hamilton had to avoid him in the first corner as well where effectively Rosberg was driving dangerously. He has quite a few times thrown a car into a corner at high speed very late, even at Bahrain there was one where had Hamilton turned in as usual Rosberg's move would have caused a crash. He's relying on other people to take excessive avoiding action to make his moves which is just bad driving for me.
