The third ever Russian Grand Prix at Sochi was won by Nico Rosberg after he charged off from pole not to come under threat again. Lewis Hamilton finished an unhappy second while Kimi Raikkonen completed the podium for Ferrari in third place.

Well if its second or last for Alonso, then why would Vettel be any different? If they are not first they as well may not even run...Andres125sx wrote:This.

with a faster and more reliable car for sure.
And yes, Fernando now feels really better, even if 13th. He got too frustrated at Ferrari when he only could fight for 2nd as much, and that was outdriving a faster car (webber), and in the seasons with best perfomance by Ferrari, from that point Ferrari went downward so I can see his frustration with the red team
Now Vettel will have to prove if he really is the team player many people think he is. It´s easy to be a team player with a winning car or in first season of a new project, but we´ll see how does he handle second season with no options for the title. Alonso handled 5 seasons before getting too frustrated, 4 if you want, we´ll see if Seb can handle that much
I wouldn´t bet for that, specially if his car continue with reliability problems
It is premature to be making such a statement. I don't think Vettel has anything to prove. He can be satisfied with 2015 achieving the most successful debut season for a Ferrari driver. He will continue to be motivated to stay at the team as long as the results improve year on year. I feel in general Ferrari are more competitive in performance terms at least and he will appreciate Ferrari needed to be aggressive for gains whilst sacrificing performance. With Alonso's 2014 season Ferrari had neither.Andres125sx wrote:This.

Vettle is too nice to Kimi? I really don't think so. Vettle pretends to be nice to Kimi, but on track(especially at the start of race), he usually left no space for Kimi.(Australia and China)PlatinumZealot wrote:I think Kimi slows VEttel down because Vettel just seems too nice to him on track because he's his friend. I like Vettel better when he's ruthless to his teammate, that's when you see the best Vettel.

Fair enough. I did some checking and indeed the cars seem faster to the amount you said. Not convinced about the Mclaren WCC challenge thing, but I guess it's irrelevant anyway.godlameroso wrote:Don't just take my word for it. Here's the final stint of Lewis Hamilton on medium tires in 2015, below it you'll see Alonso's final stint in 2016 also on the medium tires. If you notice the times are very similar.

I'm not sure how you are calculating that. This is one of the worse circuits for MGU-K harvesting, similar to Silverstone. 10% of the lap under braking 10.3 seconds, 1.2 MJ potential recovery, probably around 0.6 achieved.godlameroso wrote:

Looks like Honda still comes up short with MGU-H harvesting because there's more than enough braking here to charge 2MJ.
Apart from those WDC mentioned above....rich1701 wrote:He can be satisfied with 2015 achieving the most successful debut season for a Ferrari driver.
And surely Alonso was the responsible for Ferrari being 4th in the WCC and be unable to fight for any victory and only two podiums, while his teammate was unable to make one sinlge podium, right?rich1701 wrote: With Alonso's 2014 season Ferrari had neither.
