It is interesting to see the different takes on driver comments and body language. For instance, I thought Vettel seemed pretty reasonable when interviewed after the race. The "tough luck" is easily explained away to heat of the moment, and in the post-race he didn't come off as being petulant.
otoh, I thought that Rosberg was really not happy - though Matchett didn't agree with me. To me Nico's body language was very uncomfortable, and he was not happy at all being number 2.
fwiw, the "team" exists in the garage and during practice. Once the race starts, the gloves are off. Kudos to Mercedes (so far) for letting them race. That likely will change when it starts getting real later in the season.
Riccardo is a much better driver than I thought he was. The other guys who I think are serious talents are Hulkenburg and Bottas. And yes, Alonso - the guy knows how to drive. I think Hamilton is a very good driver as well, he's just more held hostage by the car than some of the others.
