Kudos to Fernando Alonso and Ferrari for a performance like that. It’s become clear that when Alonso sees a window for victory, he rarely lets it slip through his fingers. Phenomenal driving, impressive race pace, and his tire management was spot on. Truly an elite performance. 🙏 🙏
As for Kimi—look, I know I’m biased—but man, hats off to him. That poor start definitely wasn't his fault, and he spent the entire race fighting through traffic while wrestling a car with a visibly damaged front wing and a busted nose cone. 🙏
If they keep this up, and if Lotus shows up to Bahrain with the same form they had last year, we might actually have something to talk about. 👋
Hamilton squeezed every bit of potential out of that car. It was obvious he didn't have the raw pace to challenge Alonso for the win, but all things considered, it's a great result for both him and Mercedes. 👍
Looking at the rest: Daniel Ricciardo drove a beautiful race, Hulk held his own quite nicely, Jenson Button was solid, and Sebastian Vettel also put in a good shift. Personally, I think if Vettel hadn't pitted a lap earlier, he might have been sniffing around for second place, but even this is more than a decent showing.
Webber... well, everything that could go wrong this weekend went wrong. Honestly, I felt for him when that wheel came off (though it would’ve been much more entertaining if Vettelko had picked it up instead 😬).
He needs a massive result in Bahrain to get his head back in the game; a win would certainly do him some good. 😁
And finally, I really hope we don't see any of those ridiculous post-race penalties. It would be a total shame if they decided to mess with the final standings.
Don't forget—he tore through the competition on that track. Some of them more than once. 😂
Honestly, I’m still rubbing my eyes in disbelief. 😁
Massa. 🙏
Not to mention that Ferrari’s pit wall clearly blew his race today.
