Slavenowsky je napisao/la:Ne Lady Kimi se zalio nakon sto ga je Vettel presao, na radiju je bila poruka kako nema dovoljno brzine na pravcu, nije se zalio na gume, kao i na Vettela sto ga je onako "rizicno" presao.

Druga je sad prica sto nema gripa i sto nije u stanju da zagrije gume kao Vettel itd. A to ti je odmah i odgovor na to sto su Kimija zvali malo ranije u box. Zato sam i rekao gore, Ferrari je imao odlicnu strategiju, odnosno odlicno su zaustavljanje odradili, malo su kasnili sa Kimijem, ali ne toliko da mu pokvare poziciju. Rekao sam da je nekad i do vozaca da odrade stvari na stazi, a ne preko boxova.

Kimi je ocigledno ocekivao oprezniju reakciju Bottasa, slicnu kao sto je Kimi popustio malo sa Vettelom, tacnije nije se previse gurao za poziciju, ali to se nije desilo. Oba vozaca su htijela postolje i zavrsilo se skoro pa najgore za obojicu.

In fact there was a clear opportunity for Ferrari not only to avoid that risky final overtake, but to guarantee Raikkonen a podium using Race Strategy early on. When the Safety Car was deployed on Lap 12, for the accident of Romain Grosjean, only four cars chose to pit. In race order these were Perez, Ricciardo, Sainz and Button.

At this stage Hamilton was leading Bottas, with Raikkonen five seconds behind in third, holding up his team mate Vettel. So why did Ferrari not split strategies at this point and pit one of its drivers, so it would be the leading car of those going to the finish on soft tyres?

In Sochi with soft tyres that could manage up to 40 laps, then a Safety Car around Lap 12-15 was a clear trigger for a decision. It was surprising that only four drivers took the opportunity.

Ferrari had two cars in the lead pack, whereas Mercedes and Williams had only one each. Raikkonen was holding up Vettel so it made sense to pit the Finn under the Safety Car, allowing Vettel to close up to Bottas.

Meanwhile Raikkonen would have become the leading car on soft tyres going to the finish, ahead of Perez and Ricciardo, as it turned out. By stopping at Safety Car speeds on Lap 12 he would expect to lose positions to Perez, Kvyat, Nasr and Ricciardo. But as Perez and Ricciardo stopped anyway, in fact only Kvyat and Nasr would have been ahead.

Raikkonen would have been able to pass both relatively easily on new tyres and then he would have been back to fourth position with his teammate up the road in third, but still to make a stop.

After the restart the leading cars went for another nine laps before stopping. Bottas would have slotted back in behind Raikkonen had Ferrari made that early stop and the older Finn would have been ahead to the finish, scoring a podium in third.

Ferrari has been very good at strategy this season, very aggressive and has made some effective decisions. It was strange that they missed this obvious opportunity.

Raikkonen’s engineer, Dave Greenwood, told him over the radio that the last lap needed to be “all or nothing”, which reflects Ferrari’s desire for the Finn to be more assertive in races and to close the points gap to Sebastian Vettel heading into 2016.
