Rainy start
That was
one of the most rainy start in this season. Drivers had to wait ten minutes,
because conditions was pretty poor, then the race start however behind safety
car.
On the first lap there was a lot of radio messages , exchange between
drivers and engineers if circuit is safe enough to drive, where is the biggest
danger. Actually there was different opinion some drivers said that they can
race, circuit is good enough, let's the race get started, but the others said
"maybe not ". Safety car in and race got started. Max Verstappen did
not wait that much and overtook Kimi
gaining third position. Renault made risky decision, because Kevin Magnussen
out of the pit changing tyres for intermediate at the time Max was pursing Nico
Rosberg. Jenson Button also changed tyres for intermediate, then other drivers,
so they thought that situation was better but not enough...
Huge enemy....AQUAPLANING
In this
season Interlagos was rainy and because of that, on the circuit there was a lot
of standing water which together with painted line was truly explosive
combination , where there was no way to race safe and not to sideslip. Some drivers
crashed , however some side slipped on safety way.
- Sebastian Vettel driving on fifth place spinned around, fortunately it was not crash, just little spin, very close to pit, where he went for changing tyres for intermediate , because of his issue with back left tyres.
- Similar situation had Sergio Perez. he also spinned around, but in a good way he mastered that spin and was continuing the race
- Actually pretty same adventure had also Fernando Alonso on fifty-sixth lap, spinned around and rescued.
- On thirteen lap Marcus Ericsson got a toehold in curb, where is seriously slippery place with a lot of standing water, one little mistake was enough to crash car.
- When safety car out to the pit race restarted and we did not wait that much time because on straightway Kimi Raikkonen crashed his car. Red flag appeared and race had stopped again.
