Actually Magnussen also is saying Kimi is getting too old for F1 and that maybe he was drunk.
Nono, that's just what the world outside kimi fans think...

He was in the end, but he did a great job in the 2 first sectors staying out of Perez' DRS.They actually had a power advantage (Rosberg was 160 bhp down) and they couldn't pass him until lap 68, how long were they following him?
With that much power lost, he should've been easy pickings.
I am currently in the US and couldn't follow! What happened?!? Why this crazy result? Did it rain?
Nah, normal qualifying really, Red Bulls just didn't have the pace, Hamiltons first try in last qualifying was disqualified due running out from track, on second try his rear locked up and he spun. Hülkenbergs time was disqualified aswell, same reason.
Thanks!
Anyone knows if F1 is broadcasted live in the US?
Formula Mercedes marches on. Hamilton's first lap was amazing, though. Bottas deserved his podium with Massa in 4th. Alonso's Ferrari the 3rd quickest car with Räikkönen down in 10th.
Räikkönen had some issues with having only partial power on the car based on team radio.
I think even a bigger problem in yesterday's GP was that Ferrari completely failed to time the Räikkönen's first pit stop correctly. Here's the order of some of the drivers before the first pit stops (lap 8):
6. Magnussen
7. Räikkönen (+0.4s)
8. Hulkenberg (+0.8s)
9. Kvyat (+0.4s)
10. Ricciardo (+0.2s)
And here's those same drivers after the first pit stops (Räikkönen was the last to change his tyres at lap 17):
9. Magnussen
10. Hulkenberg (+1.3s)
11. Kvyat (+2.2s)
13. Ricciardo (+0.6s)
14. Räikkönen (+1.5s)
Wow; He has gone from them viewing him as their superstar to now being the red-headed step child.This gets even better: Kimi said in interview by german magzine Motorsport Magazin that he had requested pitstop earlier already, but the team refused it
