Williams has decided to give their only new, sturdier nose to Bottas. Sources say that they hope "he'll be able to finish the job this time". Reports of involvement from Rosberg are unconfirmed

Williams have successfully designed a car that reliably punctures the left rear tyre

e: or possibly :lol: Pirelli

I'm going to go with a combination of Williams riding the tyre pressure limits and a manufacturing error for my guess. Seems like there was a problem with the wheel rim both times. AFAIK teams manufacture/buy the rims from different suppliers so there shouldn't be any other teams in trouble. Magnussen just got a puncture from debris.

It's always been more about the car. Anything outside the 2-3 best chassis will have one hell of a time trying to win. Andrea De Cesaris (RIP) said only 6 cars on the grid at any given time are capable of a win in most cases, and I tend to agree. Recently it's been 4, Mercedes or Ferrari/RBR.

Setter is Better.
IMO there's kinda two separate questions, between "are the cars too easy to drive" and "are the front-running cars so superior that anyone competent could win races in them". The second question is kind of true in this case, Mercedes' advantage is right up there with the MP4/2 or early 2000s Ferrari at the moment.
