Four time world champion claimed his second win for Ferrari and his 41st career win(drawing him level with Ayrton senna). He led the race from start to finish , keeping his head and feet down.
Both Ferrari's had blazing starts overtaking both the Mercedes. What had looked a 1-2 finish for Ferrari went down the drain when Kimi Raikkonen had a problem with the MGU-K and thereby had to retire the car .Ferrari had a target of 2 wins for the season and they have been able to achieve it within the first of the season. They maybe up for another win at the Belgian grand prix with Raikkonen this time maybe ?. Raikkonen is known as "King of Spa" and is generally unstoppable at Spa.
Kimi was closely followed by Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton- who had a messy start falling back to 10th-After closing the gap to just 5 seconds to Rosberg , Hamilton lost time in traffic .
More drama erupted on the restart (lap 49) when Hamilton collided with Ricciardo due to which the Brit losing a front wing end plate and leaving Ricciardo with damage on the body of his car.
Hamilton was then given a drive through penalty and rejoined the race at 13th.He finished in P6.
Rosberg meanwhile was after Vettel and the championship lead, when Ricciardo and Rosberg collided leaving Rosberg with a punctured tyre and Ricciardo with a damaged front wing . Both pitted. Ricciardo joined the race in 3rd place.
This paved way for Kvyat's first podium and gave Hamilton a chance to finish ahead of Rosberg!.
Pastor Maldonando received a hatrick penalties. Nico Hulkenberg's front wing collapsed bringing in the safety car , thereby mixing the order. Williams ran their own races.
Max Verstappen finished 4th which is the highest position he's finished in F1 so far . Fernando Alonso finished in magnificent P5 keeping Hamilton behind him.
This is the first non-mercedes podium since 2013 Brazil or 29 races !
Minutes before the start, the drivers and Bianchi’s family joined in a circle around an array of their helmets, including that of Jules. Race winner Vettel dedicated his victory to Jules, Daniel Ricciardo said "Let’s say I put my heart into everything today. I think that’s the way Jules would have wanted it", Danil Kyvat also dedicated his first ever podium finish to Jules.
Tous Avec Jules .
