He who smiles last, smiles best!
Daniel Ricciardo won the second GP of his career in front of Alonso and Hamilton.
That was an eventful race. Hamilton despite having started from the pit lane, took advantage of the safety car and finished third. On the contrary, Rosberg started from pole and lost time at the first period of the safety car. After that and because of the pit stops, the German fell behind Hamilton but was faster than the Briton, who was ordered to let the championship leader to pass. The former champion didn't obey, which ruined Rosberg's race.
The award of the best choreography goes to Vettel, who had a 360 degree spin at the long straight, touched the pit wall, but was able to carry on, of course a few places down. The surprise of the race was Raikkonen. The Finn started from far behind and finished sixth, which is his best result this year.
