Just finished watching the quali, that was as close as I have been of watching Kimi make a pole Live. (yes, I haven't seen Kimi make pole, I started following F1 after Spain GP in 2008 )
Even though I'm sorry he couldn't quite make it the end, I'm also very excited for tomorrow's possibilities
At the end it was a race incident, but it's frustrating that always happens to Kimi. Good to see Seb going to apologize with Kimi, and also behind the podium, he went to discuss with Kyvat. I just say that if it was Kimi who hit Seb, now it would be the hell against him.
quoteFerrari's Arrivabene won't blame Kvyat for Chinese GP incident
Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Maurizio Arrivabene feels there is nothing to gain from apportioning blame in the Chinese Grand Prix collision involving Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniil Kvyat.
Vettel and Raikkonen had to settle for second and fifth in the Shanghai F1 race after coming together at the first corner, with Vettel furiously blaming his Red Bull successor Kvyat for pushing him wide into his team-mate.
Asked if he had the same opinion as Vettel, Arrivabene replied: "I think pointing the finger at somebody isn't correct.
"Kvyat was doing his race coming into the curve at high speed but Seb and Kimi were doing the same thing in Kvyat's position.
"Of course if you want to defend your position you move away but unfortunately Kimi was there.
"But this is racing, it's not monopoly.
"It was an accident. I think they are part of the race but of course when you have your two drivers in a collision with each other it's not good.
"What can I say more than that?"
While Vettel was adamant Kvyat triggered the collision, he still apologised to Raikkonen and Ferrari for having been part of it.
Asked what Vettel had said to him, Raikkonen replied: "Obviously he said sorry but unfortunately it doesn't change anything.
"But I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose.
"It's not ideal for me or for the team but sometimes it goes like that.
"I paid the price for us but it wasn't a disaster.
"I'd take this over no points, we still made something out of it."

quote Kimi Raikkonen
The veteran Finn looked his most convincing in a long while in China, and seemed set to play a key role in the race until he got hit by his team mate in the first corner. The resultant damage spun him off, then necessitated a stop for a new nose and tyres. After that he struggled initially, but was later able to fight back to fifth on a day when, with only slightly better luck, he might have challenged for victory.
Seb should know better than blaming Kvyat. I guess the fact that he was talking about it so much (at least couple of times over radio and then in the room) shows that he knows he is the one to be blamed, but he never knew how to take a responsibility for his actions. Still doesn't know.
He said 'sorry'... yeah, getting P2 at the end and saying 'sorry'. He is kind of a moron. My opinion of his was like this since RB days... Peculiar that he still blames RB driver
