Hamilton moved to the outside in the hope of establishing a racing line down to the third turn, but this did not occur. Rosberg maintained a straight line with his steering wheel, and Hamilton collided with him; Lewis had nowhere else to go. Nico lost his front wing as a consequence, and Lewis won the race despite his damaged car. Instant karma was at work here; this was all Rosberg's fault. Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen passed Nico on the penultimate lap, with Nico eventually finishing P4 despite his penalty. People with good memory will also remember that this was the incident in which Toto Wolff aggressively banged the now-famous table, enraged after this dispute. #3 - A Squall and a Capgate

"I was fairly convinced that the lap was sufficient," Rosberg said of his greatest attempt, which was 0.706 seconds quicker than Vettel's.
"In Qualify Two, Ferrari was quite a distance away, and I was aware that Lewis would be unable to compete in the latter stages of qualifying. I was certain it would be plenty "said the German, who also won pole position in Sochi last year.
