Felipe Massa’s race went wrong before it even started when a sensor fault prevented his power unit from firing up on the grid.
But despite starting from the pits he recovered to finish the race in the points.

Bahrain Grand Prix race chart
Following his pit lane start Massa was in the thick of the action from the very first lap. He picked off the two Manor drivers and later got ahead of the slow-starting Pastor Maldonado but then tangled with the Lotus driver.
“A few laps in at turn four, Maldonado ran into the back of me and damaged something,” Massa explained. “From then on I really struggled with the rear and the car was very hard to drive.”
Nonetheless by lap seven he had taken Fernando Alonso for 13th place. Williams opted to bring his pit stops forward as early as they dared to hasten his progress using the ‘undercut’.
This had the desired effect but it left Massa running for longer on the medium tyre than any other driver – 32 laps, more than half the race distance. Having risen as high as eighth on the road, he was passed by Sergio Perez and Daniil Kvyat late in the race, by which time he was over three-and-a-half seconds off his team mate’s pace.

Maldonado keeps impressing me. Not only he was all over the place, he also tangled with Verstappen and Massa which affected their races.
Understeer (@abdelilah)
19th April 2015, 22:24
At the beginning I was really kind of “the ghuy will show us his talent in a decent car” but I was really disappointed, the guy really can’t drive an F1 at all, he is a really bad choice for Lotus.
Supremacy (@supremacy)

@abdelilah
You are right he shouldn’t be driving in F1.
This became clear for me a few years back when he used his car as a weapon.
Matthijs (@matthijs)
20th April 2015, 8:08
Yes he recovered quite well. But did you see his first lap? Not only did he mess up is grid position, but he ran off track about 2 times in the first lap.
The man surely is fast, but he has a marble in his head that sometimes rolls the wrong way.
Matthijs (@matthijs)
20th April 2015, 10:21
Oops, misread your comment. But I’m not sure who was to blame in his contacts with Verstappen and Massa.
Patrick (@paeschli)

At least he makes the races interesting.
Without him, we would see no first lap incidents at all.
Eduardo Cunha Holanda
19th April 2015, 22:03
Why people are criticizing him for 10th place while his teammate finished 4th? In my opinion, Massa made a respectable race. getting one point even with the damaged car and a bad tire strategy, finishing the first phase of the season ahead of Bottas. A shame that his car failed on the formation lap. Would make a great race as well as his team-mate. Good luck for the next race, Felipe!

Who is criticizing Massa? That’s just silly – his car was damaged by Maldonadoh! Was the best he could do with what he had.

A faulty sensor prevented the engine from firing up.
Marussia didn’t race in Australia cuz they didn’t have the engine’s codes.
Jenson’s sensor readings were unstable so the team decided against him racing today.
The i don’t care about noite really. I lke these engines, but they are just too complicated.

I don’t agree – it’s not supposed to be easy.
Andy
20th April 2015, 8:33
The previous V8 and V10 engines used had sensors too. Nothing new there. Almost all regular-people cars have oxygen sensors that will stop the engine from running properly if it is faulty. So sensors for the correct operation of an engine is a common thing.

Still don’t understand how merc could have ignored kimi on mediums keeping pace with lewis, and even going faster than both seb and nico, in the second stint. Did they think ferrari were just going to put the slower tyre on again for the final stint, and not the options, which kimi was still catching lewis on at the end of first stint and got more laps done on them? Come on merc pitwall, you just about got away with it this time, next time you might not! Wake up!
Bolide (@mim5)
19th April 2015, 23:01
@newdecade I guess the predetermined strategy is always best for Mercedes due to their overall pace. Also I guess you haven’t taken into account that Vettel and Rosberg were 2secs or somewhat behind the car infront and with the dirty air issues these cars are experiencing, Kimi who was in clear air as his 1st stint was longer was able to match Lewis who was also in clear air.
RV (@zenren)
20th April 2015, 3:19
Its one thing to catch up and a different thing to overtake unless you have a superior car. I assume Mercedes was counting on that. Also, I don’t think they expected Kimi to be able to push for so many laps and still have life in his tyres by the time he caught up with Mercs.
Indirectly, Vettel’s mistake meant Kimi had one less car to overtake and hence caught up with Rosberg sooner.
Supremacy (@supremacy)
20th April 2015, 9:10
@newdecade
I agree with Mercedes doesn’t seem very agile when it comes to strategy.
I guess most people simply felt that Kimi had been massively compromised by staying out far more than necessary in the 1st stint unnecessarily loosing huge amounts of time.
Had he changed to the mediums quick he would’ve won the race.
Patrickl (@patrickl)
20th April 2015, 9:33
How did they ignore Kimi? What else were they supposed to do?
It’s a 2-stop race and Kimi stopped after both Mercs stopped. By the time Kimi stopped There was no other strategy available to the Mercs anymore than the one they already picked with their first stop.

Wow, Ericsson really did lose 25 seconds on that awful second pit stop.
Bullfrog (@bullfrog)
20th April 2015, 0:43
Maybe they had no new tyres left – but I wonder why Williams didn’t bring Massa in again, around lap 40-45. There was a big gap back to Alonso who was bumbling around with his Honda 50 power – and a new set, even of mediums, could have given Felipe a decent chance to attack Perez, Grosjean and Kyvat.
Daniel (@dstaplet13)
20th April 2015, 1:35
I imagine he would not have finished in 10th if he had pitted again. Soft tires would have been the choice for the last stint if they had decided to pit. But I think they had no new set left, which would explain why they took the gamble to get him into the points.
Ilham Shaq (@hahailham1)
21st April 2015, 1:58
even with soft he didnt have the car balance he needed to push the tyre. the tyre will gone by 10-14 laps as his 2nd stint
Patrickl (@patrickl)
20th April 2015, 9:37
Massa always gives me the feeling that he’s unable to drive the car if there is a scratch in the paintjob.
Ilham Shaq (@hahailham1)
21st April 2015, 1:52
‘scratch in the paintjob’
you mean broken diffuser for 53 lap?
you didnt watch the race, did you?

Can someone remind me what Maldonado got wrong at the starting grid? The BBC never explained it. I thought that he moved into Massa’s spot initially but clearly that’s not possible as he was starting five rows further back.
Stefan (@stefguy)

Maldonado went into the wrong start spot behind Kvyat instead of infront and that caused Will Stevens to start behind his teammate cause Maldonado went into his gridspot

Thanks, @stefguy . Weird mistake.
