THE IRRESISTIBLE MERCEDES GRAND PRIX OF CHINA , WITH THREE DOUBLE AND HAMILTON ROSBERG . FERRARI SALE ON THE PODIUM WITH A GREAT ALONSO

At the Grand Prix of China, on the Shanghai circuit , sprint start of Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard ‘s Ferrari makes a sportellate with Felipe Massa in fifth place but then goes back to third , behind Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. Kimi Raikkonen remains mired in traffic behind the lines , in tenth place .
And ‘ Alonso ‘s horse race of motoring that despite lower car tries to maintain the position that earned him a podium finish until the end. It is not easy with Mercedes and Red Bull. It has behind it a mastiff as Ricciardo. For Raikkonen , however, a race without infamy and without praise. It dates from the back up to the eighth position but nothing relevant in his conduct of the race . For Ferrari is not there, but no one had hoped a change of direction with the change of team principal , you can see some small improvements and big room for maneuver . The championship is long , certainly not one as Fernando Alonso bodes well . And hope for the Red Army is not doing the sparring partner but stay in front of the Mercedes . For now, however, there is little to do. The Mercedes has a top car in China and offers sign to the third double in four games . Finish third , as did Alonso, means finishing first in the other world .
So first Hamilton, Rosberg second , Alonso third . It ‘s the first podium of the year and that is what the Ferrari brings home with Marco Mattiacci that replaces Stefano Domenicali .
