Man WTF is going on this season. Oh, they decided to shuffle mechanics in the Mercedes garage this season, huh? 
It's Mclaren Mercedes all over again. 
You know it's funny how the defending world champion of the last two years is having this amount of trouble with his car. You'd think the CHAMPION would have top notch parts, pieces, and mechanics.

Fucking Kyvyt... I swear that shit was on purpose. How does an F1 cailbre driver rear end a guy in 2 straight corners, and week after pulling a kamikaze move on the same driver in the first lap the previous race??? Hes officially become Maldonados replacement of the guy you dont want to qualify anywhere near.

And fuck rossberg
Hamilton gets under 7 secs to Rosberg with 20 laps to go...... "Hey Lewis, we got water flow issues!" Lead extend to 14secs......"OK, Lewis back under control". 
I wanna get excited, but he's been on pole for more than half the races now and we can see the results, so Lewis needs to empty his pace pocket tomorrow. On another note, Verstappen seems like he was about to make Ricciardo look like he was the rookie. I'm watching the race for these two tomorrow and the rest of the season, cause shit's about to get interesting. 
It's basically like they V-8 era run. Their close and Vettel will bring some wins, but they just don't have enough. They get close and Merc pulls another few tenths out. Meanwhile, shit's about to get real for their team principal cause Marchionne is basically saying they need to win. If Renault's new engine upgrade in Canada brings them the expected half second, Ferrari is gonna be in some shit this season. I have a feeling their stressing that PU more than they want to let on. It's got Merc power, but if they push it, it breaks.
No consolation prizes here. I don't care what happened to Merc, you still finish behind Redbull on a 2 stop strategy in Catalunya!!! This is bad man, very bad. Monaco is never a good circuit for Ferrari. Went from maybe fighting the 2nd Merc start of the season, to now fighting the 2nd Redbull. I'm tired of the regulations to be honest. Yeah its some sour grapes, but it's gotta be frustrating to have all the tech, money, and resources and can't use them. How exciting would it be for Merc, McLaren, Ferrari, and Redbull to really be slugging it out???
The stewards deemed the crash as only an racing incident...
The stewards’ statement in full:
The incident concerned started when Car 6 dropped into an incorrect power mode, as set by the driver prior to the start. This created a significant power differential between Car 6 and Car 44 at the exit of Turn 3 coming onto the straight, resulting in as much as a 17kph speed difference between the two cars on the straight. Car 6 moved to the right to defend his position, as is his right under Art 27.7 of the Sporting regulations. Simultaneously Car 44 as the significantly faster car with, at that time, apparent space on the inside, moved to make the pass. Art 27.7 requires the leading driver to leave room, if there is a "significant portion" of the car attempting to pass alongside. Car 44 had a portion of his front wing inside Car 6 small fractions of a second prior to Car 44 having to leave the right side of the track to avoid an initial collision, which may have led him to believe he had the right to space on the right. Once on the grass on the side of the track Car 44 was no longer in control of the situation.
Having heard extensively from both drivers and from the team, the Stewards determined that Car 6 had the right to make the maneuver that he did and that Car 44’s attempt to overtake was reasonable, and that the convergence of events led neither driver to be wholly or predominantly at fault, and therefore take no further action.
