Daniel ricciardo and Max Verstappen in Kuala Lumpur used the issues of “Mercedes”.
The main event start was an accident Vettel and Rosberg – pilot Ferrari, it seemed, slipped into second place, but his colleague from “Mercedes” so desperately did not want to give his position, it did not calculate the space and collided. Vettel came down, and Rosberg fell back to the end of the peloton.
Hamilton was the leader and walked to his seventh win of the season. When it seemed that the change of leader in the standings is inevitable, in the car, the British burned the motor. Inspired by this event, Rosberg was able, despite a 10-second penalty, managed to break through into third place and increased his advantage over Hamilton to 23 points.
If the “Mercedes” just not feeling it, “Red bull” in cold blood takes its toll. It happened in Spain (win Verstappen), and now the Austrian stable and even scored twice, became the team’s first since the Grand Prix of Brazil 2013. Riccardo due to the tactics of pit stops won their fourth career victory and has organized himself a solid lead in the fight for third place in the standings.
