Jules Bianchi’s climb from the back row of the grid to claim Marussia’s first points with ninth place was the most remarkable story of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Bianchi was relegated to the back row following a penalty for a gearbox change. He started on the harder soft tyres but got away well, crucially passing his team mate and Marcus Ericsson. He gained another position when Romain Grosjean pitted under the Safety Car.

The retirements of Sebastian Vettel, Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat moved him up to 14th behind Kamui Kobayashi. But when the delayed Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen appeared in his mirrors the Ferrari development driver was soon passed.

Kobayashi had started the race on super-softs, and so had switched to soft tyres under the Safety Car. Bianchi had done the opposite, and used his superior traction to great effect when an opportunity to pass the Caterham presented itself.

Raikkonen made a couple of attempts to pass Kobayashi and eventually succeeded on lap 35. Bianchi pounced, and with a race-making move barged his way past the Caterham at Rascasse.

He rose to 12th courtesy of Jean-Eric Vergne, who had collected a drive-through penalty following an unsafe release. Bianchi was also in trouble with the stewards, who had penalised him five seconds for failing to line up correctly in his grid box. He attempted to serve the penalty during the Safety Car period, but as this is not permitted a second five-second penalty was issued, which would be added to his final race time.

That meant with six laps to go Bianchi was on course for a disappointing finish. He was running tenth but with Grosjean less than five seconds behind Bianchi would not keep his points place. Then Raikkonen inadvertently did him another favour.

The Ferrari driver lunged at Kevin Magnussen at the Fairmont Hotel hairpin and both skidded to a halt on the outside. Bianchi motored past, collecting eighth place, which would become ninth following his penalty. Marussia’s long wait for an F1 point was finally over.

  1. Those 2 straight lines at the bottom!! I think we are going to see more of them in this season.

  2. What was the gap required for a pit stop? I see that Hamilton had at most 16 seconds over Ricciardo at some point. With a few seconds more, it might have been worth a punt to fit some new super softs and try to get Rosberg in the final few laps. As it was, trying to pressurize Rosberg for fifty laps on the same set of softs worked to some extent, in the sense that Rosberg was critical on fuel, but Hamilton’s own tyres were also gone at the end of the race. His “my tyre temperatures are dropping” comment on the radio I interpreted as there not being much rubber left on his tyres.

    1. I though about just that during the race as well but as Lewis mentioned after the race, they have one single guy at the team who is keeping an eye on their drivers strategy. And for the team there is no point in going for the risk of trying an alternative strategy with Lewis apart from the fact that gaps were never even big enough – that as well would have required Nico to ramp up the pace.

      In a post-race interview Niki Lauda said that Lewis’ tyres getting too cold at the end was a consequence of his slow laps when his vision was hampered.
