The first GP of the season ends with a podium that looks a photocopy of 2015 with Mercedes before and Vettel third. But the Ferrari driver would have deserved to win and this year can fight for the title.
Changing the order of its parts the result changes . And how. Faster scrolling the top positions in the order of arrival of the Australian GP you would have the feeling that little has changed since last season: two Mercedes in front and one behind Ferrari . Podium photocopy of the Australian Grand Prix in 2015 then? No way: first of all to open the champagne on the top step of the podium is the excellent Nico Rosberg , a bad start Friday but extremely constant (and lucky) today. Behind teammate, world champion and pole man, Lewis Hamilton , trailing by eight seconds, it just got out of his car over to embrace Rosberg to congratulate the victory. A beautiful image after the tensions of last season. And finally, the third step of the podium once again, for Sebastian Vettel in his second year at Ferrari.
PERFECT START FERRARI – With the difference that this time Seb was involved in an absolutely perfect start: incuneatosi between the two Mercedes has signed Rosberg forcing the countryman to hinder Hamilton and allowing Raikkonen to bring the excellent behind him. It seems a mirage, something unthinkable until recently (though after Vettel pole had warned that the race would be different): in the first laps the Reds are dominating , with Seb ahead grind and Kimi behind coprigli shoulders by Rosberg, while Divo Hamilton suffers behind the enfant terrible Verstappen. The upside down world.
Australian GP, the record of the race
ACCIDENT AND TURNING POINT – Then Fate puts her, in the shape of ‘former Ferrari Fernando Alonso : two-time champion takes bad measures, hits the back of the Mexican Gutierrez and flying at breakneck speed into the barriers , cappottandosi. Moments of frost, McLaren is reduced to a shapeless heap, then the Spaniard comes out with his legs before he succumb to the fear ( “I was afraid, but this is the demonstration of how F1) are secure. Pilots unhurt luck and red flag on the track to allow you to clean the asphalt from hundreds of debris.
Australian Grand Prix, the final results
MERCEDES STRATEGY – And here everything changes: the riders back to the pits and when at 6:55 the cars fall into track, in a few minutes you realize that Mercedes has guessed the right strategy by mounting the medium, while Vettel , who dares more with soft, has lost the race , with the aggravating circumstance of a imperfect pit stops that makes him lose precious seconds, coming in fourth place. A Rosberg do is, you say, eg, that manage the victory, while his shoulders Hamilton is worried by Vettel trying to attack to wrest second place but missed and ends long while maintaining a well-deserved podium.
wE aRE sTRONG – Visibly disappointed the German can still look forward to the Bahrain grand Prix next season: “last year we got here in the wake of a not great season this year we wanted more. Of course the red flag did not help us and strategy level we could do better: I still I agreed with the team, in the end it did not work, but in the race we go much better, we are on the right track. We’re not totally happy. Yesterday there was something missing but today we proved to be very strong “. Also disappointed and innocent Raikkonen was forced to retire after the restart with a technical problem, complete with a scenic flames that come out of his dall’airscope SF16-H. But Iceman does not move even before the fire and returns to the pits his car.
THIRD PLACE D’ORO – It closes with a load emotions of the first Grand Prix of the endless season are missing and 20 others and if in 2015 Vettel had set fire to the hearts of Ferrari with a third place which was worth as a victory this year starts from ‘ Australia with the right disappointment of those who deserved the victory . And the knowledge to be back at the top.
