Basically the whole first I was sliding, so that's why I went back.
After the safety auto period, Vettel came out on the lead, but was sitting on soft tires and would need a new set before the end of the race. If anyone ever thinks a driver, or I, should be happy with second. "I did it for the team even though it didn't feel good for me personally".
"The auto is very good in the race but not quick enough to match them in qualifying". "I've not had the race results that I'd been hoping for so far, but will be targeting a strong weekend in Sochi". It is just the race here is a question mark. "We'll take it race after race". That is a lot.
A year ago was the first, and to date only, no-start of Vettel's Formula One career, with the vehicle breaking down on the formation lap at the desert circuit, but Sunday proved an evening to savour. I should've been on pole.
"Waking up, the only thing in my mind was the win". Last year Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were held to a set of "rules of engagement" written after their collision in Spain, but the team rarely had wins come under threat from other teams. Ferrari did a great job.
"I like this philosophy, a bit like rugby", said Wolff. Him running third, what could've been or what his pace would have been we don't know.
"I had some good racing with Sebastian after the restart but unfortunately it was just for a short moment", he added. "I know that gap can not come from driving, so I'm sure we'll find some reason for why I struggled more than Lewis".
Supreme Court refuses to allow Arkansas execution
The Supreme Court's decision came 10 minutes before the death warrant expired for one of these men, 56-year-old Don Davis. Supreme Court takes up a separate case concerning access to independent mental health experts by defendants.
But he said he was not sure whether that it cost him victory in a race that he lost by 6.6 seconds and in which Vettel said he was measuring his pace once he was in front.
Pole-sitter Bottas finished third after struggling with a generator problem on the grid, leaving him with tyre pressure issues. "It was feeling like on marbles".
On the final day of the 2016 title race in Abu Dhabi, with both Mercedes drivers in contention, race leader Hamilton refused a direct team order from two team officials to speed up toward the end. For me, it wasn't normal.
"For me it was not normal that it was oversteering so much, I used all the tools I had - diff, brake bias - to try to cure it, trying to save the rear tyres, but there was no way".
"When the tyres were new, they were okay, but very quickly when you rise up with the surface temperatures, it gets more and more tricky".
"If I look back at my 2016 season maybe a handful of races weren't ideal - but then others were awesome and every year I try to reduce the number of races that weren't good - or increase the number that were awesome! It's not so easy for me to explain".
