Flex columns do not match

Question

I have two flex rows. First row has 6 equal columns with flex: 1. Second row has column with flex: 4 and column with flex:2. Columns have margin-right: 10px set, except for last child in a row.

.row {
  display: flex;
}

.row .col {
  margin-right: 10px;
  background-color: coral;
}

.row .col:last-child {
  margin-right: 0;
}

.flex-1 {
  flex: 1;
}

.flex-4 {
  flex: 4;
}

.flex-2 {
  flex: 2;
}

</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col flex-4">4</div>
  <div class="col flex-2">2</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

But the result differs from what I expected:

What I want is something like this:

Only display:grid would actually be able to do this correctly:

unfortunately, at this time, it is quiet new and not implemented every where. See http://caniuse.com/#search=grid

To know more about it : https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

.row {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
}

.row .col {
  background-color: coral;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.row .col:last-child {
  margin-right: 0;
}

.flex-1 {}

.flex-4 {
  grid-column: auto / span 4;
}

.flex-2 {
  grid-column: auto / span 2;
}

<div class="row">
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
  <div class="col flex-1">1</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col flex-4">4</div>
  <div class="col flex-2">2</div>
</div>
