I doubt it. From P15 there's a decent chance for a points finish, as long as he manages to leave Magnussen behind at the start. If they change the engine (and if he was running Spec 3 today indeed) it would mean starting from pit lane.

I enjoyed that race so much! Things didn’t really come all together with the timing of the first safety car, but the last part of the race was really exciting. The beginning went pretty well for us, and I didn’t know it at the time, but we were running in P2 for a couple of laps before our pitstop, and that was cool! Then, when the safety car came out, we lost three or four positions which was a bit annoying. I gave it everything I had to pass Kimi and had a couple of exciting battles with Kevin and Lance, so it feels very good to score these points. It was a tough race, but a great result for the team in the Championship battle, as it’s quite close. I’m really happy with the way we’re working as a team, every weekend it gets better and we make a step forward, so we just need to keep pushing in the same direction for the next few races.

Today wasn’t my day. When you have a race like this you just have to raise your hand, take the blame, and move onto the next one. There were chances for me to score points today but, unfortunately, I didn’t take them. I got stuck behind drivers and didn’t show my best driving. I don’t want to make any excuse, but I also had to deal with some kind of ‘fog’ on my mirrors, which made it harder to defend - I just had to give more space due to the lack of visibility. Finally, the collision with Kimi damaged my car making it even harder, but at the end my race was already compromised.

It's a bit of a shame that Kvyat has to start his home Grand Prix from the back of the grid. I hope he can make a meaningful recovery.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

I agree to that!

Possibly even sharing it with someone back at base! Get the drawing office involved

Kerbs are pretty damaging around here, as is going off track. You have to be extremely precise and keep the rear in check on corner exit. People think it's a mickey mouse track, it's actually very challenging and it has a nice rhythm. Sector 3 is extremely tricky because you have to sacrifice the entry for exit speed, 115 meters can let you snake your way onto the last two turns faster than braking at 109 meters.
