NEWS BULLETIN | April 2014 | 03 AUSTRALIAN GP: POINTS BUT PROBLEMS TOO fact, the extra formation lap, combined with several laps spent behind the Safety Car meant that the anticipated need for drivers to slow and save fuel was less visible than expected. STEFANO DOMENICALI: “The first race of the championship has provided a clear picture of the hierarchy at the start of season. It’s also shown which teams appear to have done the best job of dealing with these new regulations. Today, we achieved our objective in terms of reliability, but the gap we need to make up, especially to Mercedes, was clear to see. The information we have gathered this weekend clearly points to the direction we must take and what areas need the most work. It will be important to catch up as quickly as possible and react in the way this team has always proved capable of doing. Our engineers know what the priorities are and which areas need the most immediate attention.” After the lights went out, Fernando dropped one place to sixth but retook Hulkenberg to go fifth, while Kimi stormed up to eighth, lucky to survive being hit by Kobayashi’s Caterham at Turn 1. Hamilton made a bad start from pole so that Mercedes team mate Rosberg led, from Ricciardo in the Red Bull, with Magnussen up to third for McLaren. Fernando dropped behind the Force India again, held up in a duel with Vergne’s Toro Rosso, with Kimi behind the Frenchman. Kvyat and Bottas completed the top ten. TEXT AND PHOTOS COURTESY OF FERRARI SPA Hulkenberg was going to hold up Fernando all the way to the second pit stop, when the Ferrari managed to get out ahead of the Force India, by staying on track a lap longer, pitting on lap 34. Nearly the entire field had come in for their first tyre changes Scuderia Ferrari left Melbourne with 14 points in the bag – Alonso on lap 12, during the Safety Car period, after Bottas lost a fifth, Raikkonen eighth – but with a clear sign there is plenty of wheel. In fact, this cost Kimi a bit of time, as he was briefly work to do in the ten days before the action starts again for “queued” behind his team-mate. Button in the McLaren built his fourth place finish on those pit stops, being the Round 2 in Malaysia. first driver to come down pit lane for both tire changes. As expected, Mercedes was the dominant force, with Nico Rosberg taking the win, the fourth of his F1 career.

I had some problems with the electric motor at the start and had to make a few changes from the steering wheel, but after the first ten laps everything went well. When I managed to pass Hulkenberg after the pit stop my pace was definitely better, although it was impossible to overtake. 35 seconds down on the leader is too big a gap and to work out what we need to do to close that gap, we will need to analyse the race, work out what are the strong and weak points on the car and with that in mind, the laps I did behind Nico can provide very useful information. We are a great team and I have total faith in our guys, because they did a great job today. We still have lots to learn about this new Formula 1, as the race was very strange and very difficult. But it’s only the start. We must concentrate on doing better in Malaysia.” t KIMI RAIKKONEN: “That wasn’t a straightforward race. At the start, I managed to get away well and even though I was hit from behind by another car at the first corner, my car was undamaged. The speed was good, but at one point I was suffering with graining on the front tires, I had very little grip and a lot of understeer. From then on, the car’s handling was not the same. When it was time for the first stop, we had to do a double stop and that cost me a place. It’s definitely too early to make any definite judgement, because even if at the moment we don’t seem to be in great shape, we still managed to finish the race, scoring valuable points.” NEWS BULLETIN | April 2014 | 05 Radcliffe Motorcars 7th Annual Vintage Ferrari Event Saturday, May 3rd, 9 to 4 PM By car guys for car guys, this event celebrates vintage Ferraris, especially this year with the 50th Anniversary of the 330 GT 2+2, along with all Italian automobiles vintage and newer.
