The season opener is on!
And it was, after remarkable qualification, a pretty great race with a lot of action. But let’s start at the beginning. The mercedes benz cars come moderate you away from the first weekend. Vettel were times pricking their Ferrari’s in between, and to make matters worse, the Mercedes drivers each other very little space.
Hamilton loses a few positions and provides thus space to Max Verstappen to scroll to P4. Mass is P5 and Hamilton is right behind. Mass is already quite rap a prey for the champion, but Verstappen knows far enough to the Mercedes to stay away from the to z’s place to secure.
Then it goes all wrong between Fernando Alonso and Esteban Gutierrez, driving for the debutants of Haas F1. Alonso seems to be completely surprised at the time that Gutierrez in the anchors and his McLaren flying upside down, and with significant speed the tires in.

Fortunately the Spaniard himself out of the wreckage, though it is clear to see that Alonso is a hard blow to handle. Unfortunately, with the name, Ferrari is the race for 20 minutes, shut down to all the clutter on and around the circuit to clean up, while Vettel were times reasonably comfortable at the head of the field had nestled. Road ahead.
Were times, however, should his race prematurely terminate. Problems with the powertrain even flames out of his car. Vettel is looking the pits on a set of lesser tires to switch and gives the lead to Rosberg. Hamilton seems to be somewhat to be able to crochet, but Rosberg drives end up with a comfortable lead across the finish line first.
And Verstappen? That reed, as mentioned above, while on the P4, but a botched pit stop throws a spanner in the works of the Toro Rosso driver. Moreover, the Nederbelg a spin, what makes that he must be satisfied with P10. May not be the hoped-for result, there will most of the fans would agree. On the other hand: the first tip is within and the quantity of remained quite. Nice outlook so, for the rest of the season.
