Another brilliant race! Kudos to Maldonado; he did everything he was asked. Makes me wonder about racer's luck, though. Look at how much longer it took Jenson and Nico to get a win!
The Merc team definitely missed Ross today & Michael was embarrassed.
Lewis drove a great race, one you could put against some of Michael's come-from-last-place runs. But the McLaren Team looks lost.
Once again, Kimi drove like a demon, but his team's decisions worked against him. He could have pitted just five laps earlier on his final stop and possibly got a step higher on the podium, maybe even two steps higher. That said, his team's pit stops were solid. They need to do something to help him when the tank's full; once the car lightens up, he's blinding.
Ferrari's pit stops were just brilliant --and Fernando added supporting evidence to the claim that he's the best of the best these days.
Now I have a question for Maranello --and all of you little Felipe fans: Fernando is tied for the W.D.C. with 61 points after five races. Felipe has 2. Yes, 2 points. How long do we have to wait for them to act?!?
Look at the list of drivers who could finish, consistently, no more than one or two places behind Fernando.
Never mind Maldonado; there's Hulkenberg; Grosjean; Kobayashi; Ricciardo; diResta; Perez --they could buy any one of those guys with a single phone call & 'lil Phil' can come to Indy and drive in a circle with Rubens.
On to Monaco!
