15 Laps on hard tyres doesn't make sense.

The starts are not going well with Raikkonen. He lost few places in Valencia and now the same. He needs to qualify on the front row to win a race.Kimi Räikkönen, P5, E20-05
"I had a pretty okay first few corners but I had to avoid the cars in front and drove over the kerb on the inside of the turn, then I lost a place and was pushed wide. If I had stayed in front of Mark [Webber] at the start it would have been pretty good seeing where he finished, but after that Lewis [Hamilton] also got past me. I fought back and our car was strong, especially on the harder tyres. If I’d had a better start I could have finished much better; but that’s racing and sometimes you pay a bigger price than you expect from the first lap.”

Be rate though, disadvantaged themselves but still finished 3 seconds behind the leader on tyres which just went away on the ferrari. Wouldve thought they would run longer on the harder tyres both stints and try do le old splash and dash at the end. but 2nd is still fantastic when we never expected pole, top 4 i thought would be gotten through luck in the first place.
Either road, 13 points lead still, it will change between webber and vettel, ferrari need to react fast and bring more and more to the car each week.
He's been much luckier in other starts, but these last couple have been costly.iceman1 wrote:The starts are not going well with Raikkonen. He lost few places in Valencia and now the same. He needs to qualify on the front row to win a race.Kimi Räikkönen, P5, E20-05

Kamui Kobayashi has been fined 25,000 Euro for his incident in the pits during the British Grand Prix.
The Japanese Sauber driver braked too late when coming in for his second pitstop and knocked down three of his mechanics. None were seriously injured.
The FIA decided to impose a fine on Kobayashi for an "unsafe manoeuvre in the pits".
"The accident was my fault and I want to apologise to the team," said Kobayashi. "Of course I had to push hard for points, but without doubt I braked too late in the pitlane.
"The front wheels locked, I couldn't control the car, and this is how I overshot the pit box. I am terribly sorry this happened, and I hope the three mechanics I hit get well soon."
