But after this race it seems like Ferrari could actually cause troubles to Mercedes putting on an actual Championship fight like it should be. Kimi Raikkonen's bad luck continued with an early puncture after being hit by three cars , he drove from the back of the pack finishing P4.  Setting fastest laps on his way .  Sebastian Vettel has definitely silenced the critics who said his move to Ferrari was wrong .  Vettel had purely beaten the Mercedes with pace and good Tyre strategy .  His doubters were no doubt choking on their cornflakes as they watched this display.

Coming Up Next : Malasyian Grand Prix

Malaysian Grand prix had first been held in the year 1962. 2015 is going to be the 16th running year of Malaysian gp in Sepang and it has been a host to some very good races , some controversial ones too .  Like the 2013 Malaysian GP is popular for the radio message to Sebastian Vettel: "Multi-21" ( car no.2 ahead of car no.1) .

Trust the Rookies Many people were worried if 17- Year-old Max Verstappen was too young for this game, but he showed how quick he can be ,  although he couldn't finish the race due an engin
