Nonetheless, no race is ever complete without a classic Kimi quote that heard on the team radio. This time the target of Kimi’s sarcastic prowess was his race engineer.

Jokes apart, Kimi was pleased by the speed shown by the C39 on Sunday and regrets not having enough fuel to push for P10.
He said, “We actually had a pretty decent car today and our pace was definitely a step forward, so it’s a bit frustrating not to be able to fight for the points.
“I lost a lot of time at the start, having to avoid the crash between the two Ferraris. I had to nearly stop, the car went into anti-stall and I couldn’t get it out.

“In the end, I managed to recover to a good position but I had to save fuel in the last 20 laps so I couldn’t push to catch Kvyat.
“On pure speed, I feel we could have got to the points but we fell a bit short. We get another chance next week so hopefully, we will have a better end result then.”
His teammate Antonio Giovinazzi finished the race in P14 after starting in P19. However, he was the one to get the team some points in the season opener where he finished P9.
