Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo reigns at the Chinese Grand Prix as a safety car played into his hands. Meanwhile, pole sitter Sebastian Vettel led most of the race until Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas jumped him in the pits. Vettel’s day went from bad to worse as he fell prey to an opportunistic move from Max Verstappen, sending both into a spin. Completing the podium were Bottas and 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen. Here is how Twitter reacted to the race.

Poor Kimi
If Ferrari want to use a 2nd driver to just hold up people and try and get Vettel wins, just stick Leclerc in there, hasn't Kimi had enough of this abuse now for years lol?!
