it's really no big deal. The Ferraris and Mercs are so much faster than the rest of the grid that I see no reason why Ham wont podium even starting from the back. Kimi will have to take out bottas while the Saubers and Haases set their sites on Ham. Ferrari should consider calling up Kvyat.

this was only the 12th time in 976 world championship races that a driver has won after starting 14th or lower
it happens 1.23% of the time in other words
