Smart strategy by Kimi Raikkonen

As Ferrari had a better strategy this time, Kimi Raikkonen won his first victory since the Australian GP in 2013, before heading to Lotus.

"Maybe the fans are happier than me now," he says.

"I had a very good start and I had to press properly, but at the end of the race, the tires were not the best and there was probably Max and Lewis with the same problem. I tried to keep the tires alive, the car was really good and it was fun to win it some time ago.

In fact, 113 points and Kimi Raikkonen, who has more than three points before leaving Ferrari for Sauber, have won. He also helped his colleague Sebastian Vettel stay alive at the World Championships for another week.

"I'm much happier now than if I'd already been two years old, but we'll be happy to see him later," said Kimi Raikkonen after the race.

"It was a lot to make the right decision at the right time and choose the right tire. But it was a very good race and that's what we all wanted, fans and drivers.

As many victories as Mika

Kimi Raikkonen has won 21 victories and now has as many Grand Prix victories as Mika Hakkinen. For the Swedish side, Marcus Ericsson finished in place 12.

"It's clear that you intend to bet on the points, but my first turn was really bad and last, and then I struggled to win," says Marcus Ericsson at Viasat Motor.

"It was far from the goal, but I think it was a good bet.

The next race is set in Mexico and Lewis Hamilton must score five more points than Vettel to win the World Cup title in a week.
