The Inside Line: F1’s qualifying fiasco, Nico Rosberg a true champion and Ferrari reliability problems

Given that the ‘three tyre compound’ rule seems to be working wonders for the sport, Kunal and Mithila wonder if this was a fluke decision after all.

Nico Rosberg’s victory in Bahrain was long overdue, but the same can be said about his career as well. Whether the ‘five consecutive wins’ statistic works for him or not, Rosberg is a true champion and will be looking to continue his impressive run of form.

As for Lewis Hamilton, he seems better in finishing races than starting them; will this prompt a rule change by the FIA-FOM to help him get back to winning ways?

Finally, are Ferrari pushing their development agenda at the cost of reliability? And did you know that three out of Kimi Raikkonen’s last four podium finishes came at circuits where there was no alcohol served (on the podium)?
