Sebastian Vettel finished third after a rollercoaster race. The 4-times-world-champion started from 6th, lost a couple of places in the start, and run on 8th place before the first pit stop. The Ferrari driver then comeback. He first overtook Pérez for 7th, and before change the intermediate tyres, he overtook Räikkönen. Then with those 5 extra laps on intermediate tyres closed the gap with the Williams and the Mercedes to finish on a final third place, after a great effort.

The Williams of Massa and Bottas finished on fourth and fifth place, after a bad management of the race and the strategy.

Daniil Kvyat finished sixth, achieving his second best result this season. The Russian race was intelligent, and with a good strategy this place is all what Red Bull can get after a difficult weekend for the Austrian team.

On seventh place and the latest driver on the lead lap is Nico Hulkenberg who took the fifth place at the early laps but the rain and a better strategy from Vettel and Kvyat makes him finish where the Force India should be always on seventh place.

Kimi Räikkönen and Sergio Pérez finished on eight and ninth, respectively. Both drivers started very well the race but the rain haven’t help them where they struggle and finished in the final points positions.

And closing the points positions is for first time this season, the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, who was surpring in front of the Sabuer of Ericsson, who finished 11th, and the Manor’s of Merhi and Stevens, 12th and 13th respecitvely.
