He didn't have brake problems, that's just the shit they tell you on tv to keep drama down. He did it, he knows he did it. We knw it, Mercedes knows it, tv knew it too. Desperate men do desperate things. He's not as good as Hamilton and that's the only way he could stop him. Wulfe is going to have to force his hand if they keep trying to wreck each other.
The funny thing is that I get to see incidents like that in American short track racing weekly. If they start racing like that on the last lap everywhere they could overtake nascar in North America. I don't watch nascar anymore, I couldn't even tell you anybody that's won a race this year.
While Rosberg did intentionally run into Hamilton, he did have brake issues. There was a large difference in brake dust between the two Mercs, which is highly unusual to occur in one team.
What I found funny was that Hamilton complained about the tyre choice, when in the end it was clear that the sifts were clearly the right choice over the super softs. Wehrlein in a MANOR, was on a set of 40+ laps of softs and was catching Bottas in the Williams who was on a fresh set of super softs. Really surprised they put Rosberg on those given that Ferrari was about the only team to get any amount of speed out of them in the race, before Vettel's eventual failure.

Wasn't that his only tire left? That's what I heard when they both came out on different tires, it was because that was the choices both guys had.

Hamilton had two sets of softs for the weekend, Rosberg had one. Soft tyres was the way to go in the race, but no one could predict that eight weeks ago, when the choices we're made.
About the replays, check reddit r/formula1, they usually post the replays.

Yeah I think that's stupid that they have to have that list in so early, then again, formula 1 has some very stupid rules anyway.
They should definitely bring back fuel and each driver should have a pit box, it would certainly liven up everything, and now that I think of it, isn't refuelling coming back next season?
