Both made a clean start, with Vettel holding off Bottas heading into the first corner.
After Raikkonen and Bottas had come in for a tire change a few laps earlier, Vettel changed halfway through the 78-lap race.
When he came back out, he was in front of Raikkonen while Ricciardo – second here last year – had jumped ahead of Bottas.
It seemed to be a case of the Ferrari team giving preferential treatment to Vettel, because it looked like Raikkonen came in too early.
Whatever the strategy was, Ferrari will not mind after securing maximum points and seeing Mercedes fail to make the podium.
The race was held up for a few laps near the end after German driver Pascal Wehrlein crashed near the tunnel.
British driver Jenson Button appeared to cause the clash, edging his McLaren too close to Wehrlein’s Sauber as they turned toward the tunnel entry.
The nose of Button’s car flipped Wehrlein’s car onto its side and up against the barrier. The German driver appeared unharmed and jumped out moments later.
With the drivers trundling behind the safety car, Marcus Ericsson somehow crashed his Sauber and McLaren’s Stoffel Vandoorne imitated him moments later.
The safety car came out again briefly with a handful of laps to go after Russian Daniil Kvyat became the latest to lose control of his car in a frantic finish to the race.

Paul Dantzig – the dateless divorced doctor advertising for the wife of his dreams – may avoid a nightmare by making sure his first date is with a matchmaker, some experts say.
“He really should have dinner with me and I’ll take care of everything,” said matchmaker extraordinaire Janis Spindel, declaring that after his offer of $200,000 he’ll be “inundated with a bunch of inappropriate women” and gold diggers.
“I’ll pre-screen them. I can tell who’s a loser,” said Spindel, who charges from $15,000 to $250,000 for her “extremely confidential” service.
Famed divorce lawyer Raoul Felder said Dantzig’s choices are between “a matchmaker or maybe abstinence” because otherwise he might find himself fighting palimony suits.
“He may go out with one of these women and she’ll claim he made her all sorts of promises,” he said, urging the doctor to insist on an agreement waiving palimony. “It should be signed after the first cocktail and before the lights go out,” Felder said.
Dr. Gilda Carle, a Westchester psychologist, believes Dantzig “is going to kiss a lot of frogettes before he finds his princess” with an ad – and advised him to start out with 30 minute coffee dates.
“With the exception of his bladder giving way, that’ll show him if he’s initially attracted to them and if they have a meeting of the minds,” she said.
But Dr. Gary Goldberg, a Brooklyn psychologist, thinks Dantzig should drop the advertising route because “there are many more rational ways” to meet the right woman.
He advises his patients to pursue the interests and hobbies they enjoy – like taking a cooking course or hiking or going to a museum – so “you get to meet people who are interested in the things you are.
The Ghana Insurance Association with support from Claims International Ghana Limited on Thursday organized a life business seminar for stakeholders in the industry to build their capacity to adhere to professional standards.
The objective of the seminar is to equip stakeholders in the industry to individually and collectively understand client’s definite expectations, strife to enhance the profitability of the life insurance operators and emphasized the need for operators to be united in responding to common environmental challenges.
Mr Ivan Abubakar Avereyireh, President of the Ghana Insurance Association, speaking at the opening ceremony said, the seminar was the second capacity building workshop, in line with the Association’s commitment to develop and empower the industry players to be professional.
Mr Avereyireh said the seminar is necessary because the quest for knowledge is part of the life of a company to excel in its operations, adding that, “The more we learn, the more we realize how much we do not know”.
He said the major objective of the Association was to improve Insurance penetration in the country by increasing it from 1.5 per cent to 3 per cent.
He expressed concerns on poor perception among the public about the insurance industry and that these phenomenon has contributed to low penetration of insurance in the country.
Mr Avereyireh said to erase the poor perception among the public is to equip players in the industry with the needed knowledge and skills to be professional in the discourse of their duties.
He urged the participants to make good use of the skills acquired and share it with their members for improved excellence of practice in the industry.
He would also work on the poor perception among the public about the insurance industry.
Mr Avereyireh noted that because the insurance companies provide services that touch every aspect of human endeavour, members of the Association must work hard to improve the trust and confidence of the people.
Mr Forkuo Kyei, Managing Director of GLICO Life Insurance, said the country’s insurance market has a huge potential for growth and that there is the need for players in the industry to respond to the expectations of customers.
He urged Insurance companies to offer customers value for money by delivering on their promises, and that, the industry’s core value is to pay legitimate claims to clients.
Mr Ope Oredugba, Managing Director of Claims International Ghana Limited, said the foundation of life insurance is the recognition of the value of human life and the possibility of indemnification of the loss of that value.

Cairo: Egyptian parliament is due to start Wednesday hearing sessions on proposed constitutional amendments, which could allow President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi to rule until 2034, lawmakers have said. Al. Sissi’s current term in office ends in 2022.
The assembly’s Legislative and Constitutional Committee will host several politicians, heads of professional unions, judges and university professors to hear their views on the proposed changes, Ahmad Al Sharif, a senior official in the panel, said in media remarks.
“Over the past month, the parliament’s general secretariat has received a large number of suggestions on the [constitutional] articles proposed to be amended,” added Al Sharif, the committee’s deputy head. The hearings are expected to run for one month.
The proposals, sponsored by the pro-state Egypt Support bloc in the legislature, includes extending the presidential term to six years instead of four, appointing at least one vice president and reviving the upper house of the parliament. The current constitution has a two-term cap for the head of the state.
The amendments also include a provisional article that makes it possible for Al Sissi to run for president for two more tenures.
Experts on the constitutional law will also be invited to the hearings to express views on the proposed changes, MP Ihab Al Tamawi, said.
“The Legislative and Constitutional Committee will hold six hearing sessions over two weeks. It will later forward a related report to the parliament by April 15,” Al Tamawi, another senior official in the panel, added.
Prominent lawmaker Mustafa Bakry expected the parliament to finally vote on the changes on April 17.
The changes must be endorsed by two-thirds of the legislature led by Al Sissi’s backers. Last month, the majority of the assembly gave an initial approval to the changes.
The changes cannot become a law before they are adopted in a referendum. “The amendments are likely to be put up for a public referendum on three consecutive days, beginning on April 22,” Bakry told independent newspaper Al Masri Al Youm.
The current constitution was adopted in 2014, a year after Al Sissi led the army’s overthrow of Islamist president Mohammad Mursi following enormous street protests against his rule. Al Sissi took office in mid-2014.
He was overwhelmingly re-elected for a second four-year term in 2018. He is credited with waging a relentless anti-terrorism war that has largely restored stability to Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country.
Facebook Inc. Earnings Preview: Slowdown Coming or Sustained Growth Ahead?
Facebook is scheduled to report earnings on Wednesday, Jan. 28, after the market close. The stock is up by more than 30% over the past 12 months on the back of impressive financial performance through the year. However, management expects slowing revenue growth and higher expenses in the fourth quarter, and this could ...
Lets look at the coming earnings report and the main variables to watch in order to tell if the fourth-quarter data will ignite further upside potential or a potential correction.
Management expects a decelerationFacebook delivered a truly explosive increase in revenue during the quarter ended in September; total sales jumped 59% to $3.2 billion, with 64%, or$2.96 billion, comingfrom advertising. Mobile advertising revenue accounted for 66% of total advertising revenue, a whopping increase from4...
Operating margin increased from 37% of revenue to 44%, so the company delivered both rapidly growing revenue and expanding profitability. However, investors did not like Facebook's guidance for the fourth quarter.
Management said it expected total generally accepted accounting principles expenses to grow between 45% and 50% for full-year 2014. This was an increase from a prior guidance for a cost increase in the range of 30% to 40%. According to the company, this would be primarily due to the WhatsApp acquisition's impact o...
Facebook also expects a sales increase between 40% and 47% in the fourth quarter. This would represent a remarkable financial performance for a business of its size, however, it would also be a considerable slowdown from previous quarters.
When analyzing sales data in the coming earnings release, investors might keep in mind that the fourth quarter of 2013 was the first holiday season to feature News Feed ads at full scale, so year-over-year comparisons in the holiday quarterare going to be much tougher than those in in the first three quarters of 2014.
What you need to watchWall Street analysts on average expect Facebook to report$3.78 billion in revenue for the quarter ended inDecember. This would represent an annual growth rate of 46.1% from the fourth quarter in 2013. Analysts expect $0.48 in earnings per share, a strong year-over-year increase of 78%.
A considerable part of revenue growth during the quarter should ideally come from mobile ads, which would indicate Facebook continues gaining strength in this crucial area. Also, it's important to monitor the mix between ad impressions and prices.
In the third quarter, ad prices increased 274% from the same quarter of 2013, while ad impressions declined 56%. This is a big positive for investors in Facebook stock, since the company is producing rapid revenue growth while at the same time reducing the number of ads. Placing too many ads can hurt the user experienc...
Users are another key variable to watch. As of the end of the third quarter, Facebook had 1.35 billion monthly active users, a 14% increase from the third quarter in 2013. Daily active users were 864 million on average for September 2014, an increase of 19% year-over-year.
User growth is clearly an important driver for Facebook, and monitoring the relationship between monthly and daily active users can be crucial when it comes to evaluating user engagement and interest in the platform.
Mobile is a major growth segment in the industry, so investors might want to keep a close eye on mobile user data. As of September, Facebook had 1.12 billion mobile monthly users and 703 million mobile daily users, increasing by 29% and 39% year over year, respectively.
Sales are outgrowing users lately, meaning average revenue per user is on the rise. The trend will most likely remain in place in the fourth quarter, indicating Facebook's ability to monetize each user is increasing.
In a nutshell, Facebook investors want to see a growing user base, higher engagement levels, and growing revenue per user, as this would prove the company continues consolidating its position as the leading social network in the world and creating the conditions for sustained growth in the years ahead.

Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will start to manufacture a line of Mac computers in the U.S., but declined to offer more specifics.
After reports surfaced earlier this week that Apple had been manufacturing some of its devices in the United States, company CEO Tim Cook told NBC news anchor Brian Williams that Apple will, in fact, be moving the production of one of its Mac lines to America, a move that will cost the company approximately $100 millio...
In the interview, which airs later this evening and is Cook's first since he took the helm as CEO in mid-2011, he also said the company plans to build a data center in Texas, in addition to existing data centers in North Carolina, Nevada and Oregon. Cook declined to state specifically where the computers would be made,...
"We've been working for years on doing more and more in the United States," Cook told Williams. "When you back up and look at Apple's effect on job creation in the United States, we estimate that we've created more than 600,000 jobs now."
Apple is one of the most bulletproof brand names in the world but has come under fire since reports emerged in October that Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturing company that makes the iPhone handset, had been employing underage workers at its factories.
Cook said it was a lack of skilled workers in America that led Apple to manufacture the iPhone and its other products overseas. "It's not so much about price, it's about the skills," he said. "The consumer electronics world was really never here. It's a matter of starting it here."
In addition to his claims that Apple is bringing device manufacturing to the U.S., Cook also had some choice words for the makers of television sets, leading to a flurry of speculation online that he was dropping hints about Apple's long-rumored TV.
"When I go into my living room and turn on the TV, I feel like I have gone backwards in time by 20 to 30 years," Cook said. "It's an area of intense interest. I can't say more than that."
An Apple TV is no longer a matter of "if," but "when," Piper Jaffray analysts Gene Munster and Douglas J. Clinton wrote in a June 1 research note. The pair forecast a retail price between $1,500 and $2,000 for a TV with a display between 42 and 55 inches, for the new device to add between 4 and 8 percent to Apple's 201...
