Season 2 Race 6

The new management over at Falcon did the job, as Ricciardo takes his first win and first points of the season, as the Hungarian team is starting to show its pre season form again.
Very, and I mean very far behind him was the Pro Force of Vettel, who profited from an extra pitstop (which will be altered I can say after the Canadian GP), compared to Verstappen, who finished 3rd, to the dissappointment of his team boss Engberink.
So this seemed like a very Schumacher-esque win, how did Ricci do it? Well let me show you.
At the start Schumacher got off the line poorly as ever and was houred into turn 1 by his fellow rivals Ricciardo and Verstappen. He could not pass Verstappen until lap 2, with the help of a more straightline efficient car compared to the slower car of Verstappen. However it was only lap 5 when he started closing in on Ricciardo, but he never passed him on track. The Australian made an early pitstop, ginfting Schumacher the lead briefly, until the Ferman made his one and only pitstop. At this point Ricciardo was pulling away a sizeable gap until he pitted again. Schumacher was closing up but his challenge failed when an unspecified failure occured, leaving the Arrows mechanics confused and massively disappointed. At this point it was clear who was going to be the winner as long as the car didn't fail. Vettel and Verstappen had a scrap for second, but Vettel, despite having track position,w as called into the pits and blazed past his Dutch rival on fresh option tyres.
Further at the back, we saw quite a lot of carnage after Kubica hada punctured tyre shortly after his pitstop. Once he pitted again, he collided with a Manor driver on rejoin, leading to yet another pitstop and race lost. Before that he was running 3rd.
Alesi was running a solid 5th before crashing out yet again, never finishing a single race so far. Along with Brosseau and Irvine (Irvine first ran out of fuel, then crashed)
Kvyat was holding a 9th place against faster cars but would eventually drop to 11th. Alonso crashed very late in the race.
