I honestly think it was a racing incident. Vettel was overreacting, but I understand his anger at having been punted on lap 1.
It's ironic that Kvyat hit him (twice) after hitting him on lap 1 at the last race. I think Kvyat is a very talented driver. It's a coincidence he just happened to run into the same guy (Vettel) twice in two races. Also sort of ironic that Kvyat drives Vettel's old Red Bull car! Lewis Hamilton had an amazing race, and Rosberg is unbeatable right now. I realy thought the Ferrari's were going to be competition for the Mercedes this year, but it appears they still have a big advantage. I wonder how many more wins in a row Rosberg will get?
Kvyat seemed annoyed at the reporters asking him about the OTHER crash he caused (not Vettel's) where the FIA penalized him. He's having a bad time right now, and I think he's one of these guys that reads all his social media feeds and it bothers him that he's made to look like a bad driver.
Remember a few years ago when Grosjean was the goat because he ran into Alonso in consecutive races?
Great race though, and congrats to Rosberg, Hamilton, and Kimi.

Agree overall. I too remember when it was Vettel taking out his Teamate Mark Webber and then doing the loco crazy finger spin by his (Vettel) ear meaning it as commentary for Webber
Got to hand it to the "Iceman Kimi" too for another podium...as impressive as Nico's march forward wins, AND Hamilton coming from behind to another podium...like I said to my Mrs yesterday...I'll bet Ferrari is glad they kept Kimi...remember "it was in the air" last yr for a time that he'd be released BC of lack of performance and podiums...and the "World Champion" driver was going to take front and center on the Prancing Horse team.
1st part of race was good...track air temps @ 62 degrees F surprising to see so much tire clag on track during race...
Another positive is the return to previous Quali format...
