Kimi Raikkonen has won a thrilling race that was full of action from start to finish. The Finn marks his first win since his return to Formula One and in the end fended off a charging Alonso who finishes second. Sebastian Vettel finished third after having started from 24th position.

Nah he's pulled off a few in the DRS zones, but he's had a clear advantage for most of them. In fact the way the safety cars have worked out he's had a tyre advantage over the field for much of the race. It's being hailed as an amazing drive by Vettel, but frankly I can't see what he's done except be on the right tyres and having been lucky with two safety cars at a circuit not renowned for having safety cars, and with other drivers knocking themselves out ahead of him. He's also made three big mistakes, twice damaging his front wing through numpty errors and once having to give a place back to Grosjean for a dodgy overtake. Compare Vettel's recovery to Hamilton's in Barcelona where he didn't have cars falling out ahead of him nor safety cars to help him close up. By rights that was the kind of result Vettel should have had, but he's lucked into a much better finish.jz11 wrote:if I've had been asked, I would say Vettel did only 1 overtake in this race
I did giggle at that, yes. Pffft, this one says third on it <throws it on the table>Joie de vivre wrote:Hahaha at Alonso choosing hat

MSC starting last and finishing 5th with a crappy Mercedes in Spa never got anyone's attention. A kid's lucky strike at Abu Dhabi does
Yup, that's about the size of it. But his move on Button was flawless. In fact, his only faultless move of the race.myurr wrote:Nah he's pulled off a few in the DRS zones, but he's had a clear advantage for most of them.

So insulting Vettel is somehow more acceptable? anyway it wasn't an insult just laughing at all of youNathanOlder wrote:AlpineF1 wrote:Everybodys been an idiot about Vettel, what i say is,

No, they're counting things like losing 25 points today, 25 points is singapore, and 8-10 points in all of the races in between because of mechanical failures, along with several other races earlier in the year having mechanical failures, and disasterous pit stops that lost him literally hundreds of points this year.LionKing wrote:Memory lapse?
Karhikeyan?
Monza?
also people were counting Spain as luck bad for Hamilton. Same happened to Vettel.....
I do feel for Alonso somehowCylinder wrote:Alonso driver of the day for me.
He actually overtook faster cars like Button, Webber, Maldonado, and then dragged that car within a second of the race win.
No bullshit safety car luck.
