Aaaand Kimi in 5th. Nice job

**stefa** · 17th April 2016, 07:29

And in moments like these one is always wondering what would have happen with the clean start?!

**nani_s23** · 17th April 2016, 07:29

Great recovery & strategy from Ferrari .... Superb drive by vet & Kimi

**KurtC** · 17th April 2016, 07:30

yeah, we always wonder that aren't WE??? but this is F1, anything can happen in the first lap....and today it wasn't in our favor...maybe at the next race and going forward will come our way

**DJTaurus** · 17th April 2016, 07:30

Don't know if anyone noticed but red bulls on medium compound were faster than mercs on same compound.

**stefa** · 17th April 2016, 07:31

6 laps... Hope there is more in SV and KT S tyres left

**F1NAC** · 17th April 2016, 07:31

Massa driver of the day definitely

**roddick_andy** · 17th April 2016, 07:31

This season we are getting Channel 4 commentary who's that guy who always has a Hamilton mantra? My god it's annoying, I think sky commentary was better last season

**KurtC** · 17th April 2016, 07:38

Vettel Managed those tyres very well

I have to admit, apart from the start unfortunately, both Kimi and Seb drove superbly today.

**FerrariF60** · 17th April 2016, 07:40

that nico is having a heck of a luck this season so far.....something's gotta go wrong for him soon as it's too peachy and easy for him currently

one thing i can say, i cannot wait until we that that turbo issue fixed so we can run our engine at full power.....then wathc out Mercedes....

**Scuderia85** · 17th April 2016, 07:41

we did have some problems to day so p2 and p5 is good

**KurtC** · 17th April 2016, 07:42

both of them did good, a shame that there was those problems at the start and both our drivers lost time... P2 and P5 is a good result today

**DJTaurus** · 17th April 2016, 07:42

Merc confirmed that Hamilton lost a huge amount of downforce due to the incident at the start of the race.

**NyX** · 17th April 2016, 07:43

This race was superb. I ain't even mad. Overall a good result for us given the circumstances. Let's get 'em in Russia with upgrades to the engine.

**stefa** · 17th April 2016, 07:43

Well done to our boys

**bonzo** · 17th April 2016, 07:45

Merc got the best tire strategy for Ros, just 2 stops

**TonyRizza** · 17th April 2016, 07:45

2 great drives it's a shame it's been another recovery race hopefully next 1 will be a normal race

**Ferrarichamp** · 17th April 2016, 07:45

Yep, Nico's luck will surely turn.

With the car like theirs one can do almost everything

Absolutely.

**LivingHitokiri** · 17th April 2016, 07:46

Great drive by our guys and its a shame we lost the chance for the win due to bad start.

Can't wait for that one to happen

**stefa** · 17th April 2016, 07:47

Hope there is not going to be any bad blood between KR and SV after that incident at the start

**wacc** · 17th April 2016, 07:47

Interesting race, great drive by Seb. Kimi was also fast. Shame about the first lap scratch.
Mercedes is still ahead but others are starting to catch them bit by bit.
