Barcelona, Spain

The first Grand Prix in Europe this season was set in Barcelona in Spain on Circuit de Catalunya.
Some facts:
Race laps: 66
Lap: 4,655km
Last year winner: Pastor Maldonado

The race:
Felipe Massa after Q2 recived a three-place grid penalty for impeding Mark Webber. Also Esteban Gutierrez got this punishment, but he was blocking Kimi Raikkonen.
That was very beautifull start for Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. As soon as lights went off, they rapidly got ahead. Mercedes duet was on the first to places, but the starts wasn't great for them. Lewis Hamilton on the first curve blocked his tyres, and lost his position. Later on began problems with his car, so he totally lost his good position. Also Nico Rosberg was struggling a bit, because  drivers one by one were overtaking him. Then in pitlane Force India had some issue with their car. Next thing happened to Romain Grosjean. Had a huge problem with car, with steering.
Pastor Maldonado received drive through penalty, because of over-passing speed in pitstop.
Giedo van der Garde reported to his engineer that he is having problems with his tires  later on he lost his back, left tyre, but he continued driving to pitlane, whereas he supposed to stop somewhere. 
Ferrari started to have the best results and heading to the first places. All fans on the grandstands were just celebrating. 
Then it was just fight between Massa Vettel and Raikkonen, where Vettel, which is quite surprise  didn't have a good results, good pace. Whereas Fernando Alonso had incredibly good pace, and was leader for the end of the race (with ups and downs because of visit on pitlane). Later on Nico Hulkenberg was to early released, straight to  Jean-Eric Vergne, that they even had a contact. Nico received penalty 10secs stop in pitstop. Few moments later Vergne's back right tyre completely destroyed, so he had to get back again to pitstop. 
Last laps, all Ferrari fans were so much happy, that he is going to win the race, and that just happened.
Fernando Alonso won Spanish Grand Prix !
