there was no rain during the race, but in the video first part rained quite hard.
There was another team radio he complained lost of power on the straight, was it during the race?
I watched it again, looks like it's a combination from different sessions, because sometimes there were rain, sometimes he's on M (White rim) and sometime on S (yellow rim)... so it's hard to tell exactly when this happened. But during the time he slow down he was on S tyres so it could be during the race then.

yes, sorry you are right, it's a combination of onboards from whole weekend. but that part at 4:25 is dry so either it's race (there is a Lotus infront so possible) or FP2
It's shit like this that can make or break a race and even a season..
Look at the contact between Alonso/Massa and Rosberg/Bottas. How this didn't end all four of their races just blows my mind. And Kimi had the shit luck when Magnussen caused a puncture
Actually when I saw the contact between Alonso and Massa, I thought it's lucky that Kimi is nowhere near Alonso. Remember in previous 2-3 races he always pushed Kimi wide at the first lap.
I think Kimi should be more careful in the future when racing against Alonso.
quoteThe Kimi Raikkonen fans are beyond belief in China. They paint their faces, wear wigs and print huge signs to support their man. Those main grandstand seats must be very expensive for someone on an average wage in China, but these guys and girls turn up every year dressed to support him - they are genuine fans. They created the finish flag out of all these little boards in the seats, so clearly they are also quite well organised, and as I walked past they were all saying "take our picture, take my picture!". It's absolutely amazing and I look forward to it now each year.
