The Scuderia have lost one car to unreliability in each of the seasons opening two rounds. Kimi Raikkonen dropped out at the Australian GP after a turbo failure caused an airbox fire, while Vettel did not even take the start in Bahrain on Sunday after his car started trailing smoke on the formation lap.Although Ferrari are yet to confirm the cause of Vettels failure, team boss Maurizio Arrivabene said initial investigations pointed to a broken valve or injector. After problems with their redesigned power unit during winter testing, speculation in Bahrain suggested Ferrari were still wary of pushing it to the limit.Reliability has long been one of the Scuderias strengths but, asked by Sky Sports News HQ if their recent frailties were a by-product of pushing hard, Vettel said: Not really.We sorted out our problems over winter and starting the season it was a surprise what happened to Kimi.

If you look at the overtake on the external part of the kerb with Ricciardo, he reminded me of the drivers in the old times when they were battling and they were brave. It was very, very good.
