The Ferrari Reunion

This would be the final European GP (Until Baku) to be hosting an F1 race. Leading up to the race start, the entire top 10 were on the option tires as expected. Michael Schumacher, Mark Webber and Sergio Perez were the only ones on the grid to use the prime tires.

As the chaos settled, it was Fernando Alonso who took the checkered flag with Raikkonen 2nd and rounding out the podium for the 155th time was Michael Schumacher. It was pretty much a Ferrari driver reunion since Schumacher and Raikkonen were former Ferrari drivers at that time.
