Kimi Räikkönen experienced a tough Sunday in the Chinese GP as the 2007 champion had to work very hard to claw back into the points after having been hit hard by his Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel.
Nico starting on the softs was a masterstroke from mercedes, cant see what ferrari can do tomorrow to make this competitive, maybe hope for a well timed safety car.
I seriously dont understand the modern F1 anymore...20, 15 years ago when a driver had a broken suspension, blown engine, lost a wheel, or had any other malfunction, he allways tried to park the car as far from the track as possible (aside the track, or off it completely into the marshals drive-ins). But today both Wehrlein and Hulkenberg barely even tried to go out of the way. Wehrlein atleast did not ruin the first part due to enough time that was available, but Hulkenberg could definetly drive for few metres further and park right next to the barrier or even drive inside of them, leaving the session rolling till the end.
I might be wrong.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Why not? From sixth place in the best car you can't win a race with a good start and quality driving afterwards? I used to be critical about LH but it's a bit harsh

Lets wait and see, going against the norm cost Ferrari in Melbourne.

The Red Bull chassis appears to be quite phenomenal...I am certain Renault has made some changes to improve the power unit, but to be able to beat the Mercedes powered cars consistently is impressive.
