run

In lap three, Raikkonen informed his team over the radio that it was starting to trickle easily. Of the front runners, Raikkonen was the first to make a pit stop on lap 14 and switch to the soft tires. That early pit stop indicated that he was pursuing a two-stop strategy.

Vettel came onto the track behind team-mate Raikkonen, but stayed ahead of fifth Hamilton.
