The second round of the Formula 1 season 2015 is on, and the question that we all ask: how performed the as 6th qualified Max Verstappen?
Well, Max did the magisterial. He finished after an adult race as the seventh, and was the youngest puntenscorende F1 driver ever. Chapeau!
Vettel wins
Then the rest of the race: the complete dry GP in Kuala Lumpur turned, thankfully not in a Mercedes party, the cars were actually some competition, and from an unexpected corner: it was Ferrari that the race pace had today, and with Vettel behind the wheel thanks to an early safety car (Ericsson failed hard at an overtaking manoeuvre) the first victory since Barcelona in 2013 obtained, when Alonso is behind the wheel. We wonder how the same Alonso is now feeling.
The mercedes cars finished 2nd and 3rd, for were times, that a bad qualifying and a puncture early in the race knew to put in a uitsteknde 4th place. Hamilton proved for the umpteenth time, a lack of professionalism to have by the end of the race more over the radio to his team to bitchen than racing, but he ended up still for Rosberg. What a disaster it must have been that guy to manage it.
The Williamsen were 5 and 6, with Bottas are teammaatje Mass in the last round devoured. After that, the Toro Rosso: Sainz (started 15th) led the first dance, but had a pit stop less done, so Max him with his versere tires could pass.
What Max continue on the job showed was impressive. To devoured he Ricciardo, and his only mistake was that he called the pits in came of the track hit by the vehicle. Luckily ended this but just good.
The Red Bulls ended up as the 9th and 10th behind their satellite team STR, which is a bit painful for Horner and his family. The new mclaren finally fell both: first Alonso, and later Buttton.
