I would expect to see Nico Rosberg in front, but we have to congratulate Hamilton, who with a fantastic lap threatened to fall under the wall of 1’15”. Well done for Red Bull for moving forward and well done also for Vettel, who defended himself finishing third. Too many mistakes this morning and in the afternoon for Raikkonen. A praise to Toro Rosso who placed both its drivers in the Top 10. Although Raikkonen experienced for the first time with this circuit, he stood out quickly. Unlike Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez managed to optimize very well his Force India”, Gian Carlo Minardi analyses. “I thought I’ve seen some difficulties with SuperSoft tyres. Now let’s see what happens tomorrow during the race“.
