kimis wife

Great job from Kimi today. Didn't expect to be saying this. Seb... well, massive disappointment, 2014esque performance from him today. Hopefully there was a car problem or just didn't sleep well. This was... horrendous.

One more lap, maybe two and Kimi would have won. Hamilton's breaks were ******

[stefa]

This car is as fast as Mercedes in race trim and only slightly slower in qualifying. Makes you wonder what Alonso could have done in it. Nice of Ferrari to build a great car after he left.

I am not wondering what ex Ferrari driver would have done it. We have CURRENT drivers and they are doing the job just great!!!!

Kimi's mate.

Way to go Ice Man!!

Vettel was very ragged today.

Arrivabene on Vettel: "We are all humans. Next time, he will do better"

[aroutis]

Great race for Kimi, excellent choice of strategy. If only Seb had gone for the same.

Seb made 2 mistakes that cost him, but the only person that does not make mistakes is the one that does not try for something.

As for Alonso, I think he's getting used to be lapped by red cars by now. He wanted to leave, well,that's what he's getting.

No it's not. We're still slower on race pace, especially in colder conditions.

Lets hope HAM does not spray champagne on the hostesses

It is not champagne. Some sparkling lemonade

[Aberracus]

Probably but he's gone now.

+1

only red juice

4 races 4 podium, a win, a second, a two third.......I am happy

[wickedf1]

Fantastic Position 2 for Kimi!!! was excellent racing for him! I knew he would do it! GRANDE!

Something was wrong for Sebastian. I watched him since F3 times and I know he doesn't make so many mistakes and slides without issues from the car, so whatever was bothering made bad day, but still 5 position for good points for him and the team!

[Ed Harley]

Pleased with the podium finish.

[REDARMYSOJA]

Makes you wonder what Alonso could have done in it. Nice of Ferrari to build a great car after he left.

I'm sure there is an Alonso forum where you can go commiserate with other Alonso fans on the piece of crap McLaren and Honda have built for him.

[Kyss4k]

2014? wasnt "awful" just an off day, we dont know if he was nusring a problem. Until we know, dont start shooting comments around like that. Least 2015 is better for us, and not like 2014 or 2013, some people never ******* happy.

I said, that I hope he had a car problem. But it didn't seem to me like it. The engine was fine, top speed as well, handling looked fine... Well see. But if the car was fine, it was awful, I'm sorry.

Stop talking about Alonso, he's not here anymore, now move on

Kimi finished right behind mercedes today without optimal strategy. They were only slightly slower in china. I think we are pretty much even in race trim, this car is a legit title contender imo.

[vcs316]

hahahahaha, Lewis does not dare to venture anywhere near the hostesses with champagne/sparkling lemonade

[DIEK]

It is not champagne. Some sparkling lemonade

Poor Kimi!

He'd have done nothing with it.

[TonyRizza]

Going to the next race, at the start of the season I was asking myself, will I see a Ferrari in the top 5, now I'm asking myself will I see a win? Podium is certain!

[totox]

Probably but he's gone now.

Alonso.. The one who didnt redpect the Blue flag, trying to pass us

[stefa]

Yeah!!! Hope we all see a fantastic race!

yehh if someone told this to me before the start of season,i would take it in a heartbeat!!!
But the good thing is that we are so disappointed now for losing!!!!!!

[Ilsan]

Great job, Kimi! Well deserved P2!
Shockingly poor show from Seb. Hopefully three week break is long enough to fully regroup.

[Fireblade]

If handling looked fine to you, perhaps those dark glasses of yours are a little too dark. Handling looked atrocious, bad oversteer everywhere.
