Sebastian Vettel took his first victory
with Ferrari in the Malaysian GP, leading the two Mercedes drivers home.
Vettel held second place at the start between the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton
and Nico Rosberg, but both the silver
cars pitted during an early Safety Car
period. Vettel stayed out, and by running
a long first stint was able to make just
two pit stops.
The Mercedes pair had to come in three
times, and didn’t have the pace to make
up the time lost in the extra pit stop.
Hamilton was also forced to keep using
the hard tyres, having used up his medium tyres during qualifying, while Vettel
used another set for his second stint.
But the Ferrari was also far stronger
at Sepang – a fact underlined by Raikkonen’s recovery from 11th on the grid
and a first-lap puncture to finish fourth.
The Williams drivers finished fifth and
sixth after Valtteri Bottas put a late pass
on Felipe Massa. The two Toro Rosso
drivers also exchanged places late in
the race, Max Verstappen becoming the
youngest-ever points scorer with seventh place.
SPANISH GP REPORT
Nico Rosberg won the Formula 1 Gran
Premio de Espana Pirelli 2015 in some
style, defeating Mercedes team mate
Lewis Hamilton by 17.5s in Barcelona
to reinvigorate his world championship
campaign.
For Ferrari, finishing 45s back from
Rosberg was a major disappointment,
particularly as they’d come to Spain
with a raft of changes that they hoped
would enable them to take the fight to
Mercedes.
