Wolff's just done his looking shifty thing when asked about water leaks.
Is there an emerging consensus that the water pressure issue was a code for fuel usage, hence it "stabilised" after a few laps?Adrian W said:
So what exactly is a water pressure issue? either you have water pressure or you don't
What makes you think that?If you have a very small water leak then you will suffer a very gradual drop in water pressure. It only takes a pinhole in a radiator to cause a gradual drop in pressure.

Nonsense- Hamilton is clearly being coached to get around the radio ban. Dock him another five places and make him start between Vettel and Kvyat next race.

Maybe not tonight but Lewis will feel good about his recent results because every time he has a bad day he ends up in the points others have a bad day & they have a DNF so he won't be to worried because when Rosberg has a problem the big question is will he be able to finish in the points.
James Allen, who is pretty well versed in all things F1 is skeptical, from his blog:
before his engineer warned him about a “water pressure issue”.
From then on Rosberg eased home to win his fourth race of 2016 by 25 seconds over Hamilton, as the problem meant he had to back off before it eventually “stabilised”, with Raikkonen a further 6.9s back in third by the flag.
We will see. They are probably all using coded messages to some extent.

My experience is from GT2 Porsche 997 RSRs, where a small, gradual pressure loss could be managed by short shifting a little and monitoring the temperatures and coolant pressure. Water pressure was a very important item on the data, largely due to the front-mounted radiators.
