I thought it was just a joke rumor but nope, Niki Lauda was on Austrian television and after being pressed by one of the journalists was forced to confirm the story that Lewis was so furious after Nico out-qualified him in Baku that he trashed his room in the Mercedes hospitality and had to pay for all the damage out of his own pocket. 

He also said that the story Lewis told over the weekend about how things are nice and friendly between him and Nico now was just intended to distract the press. “He has lied about that. Getting worse every time Rosberg is winning.”

Can’t wait for Sky to eventually be forced to run the complete story after it gets too big to ignore… just imagining them working frantically atm to figure out how to make this all Nico’s fault:
