It was like Vettel and Mark were slapped with a pile of bricks!
When this was first posted, I wanted to respond "Vettel is going overtake Ham-bone during the first pitstop and beat him silly" but I decided to wait until it actually happened. It's happened now, so I can only say "eat it!" Ham-hock never had a chance, and I wish he didn't have a brake problem because then he would have been properly beaten down by Vettel. A later post states that a viewer was "robbed" of viewing the alleged race battle between Vettel and Hamilton, but I know, this and that person knows, and everyone else knows that Hamilton had 0% chance of beating Vettel.
Vettel beat hamilton?
Check the lap times again. Then realize Hamilton was strugling on 3 brakes, with a compromised Kers system and compromised brake ballance.
Had Lewis car been ok, it would have still been 0.449s a lap up to the pit stop.
So in summary Lewis' brake problem gave the illusion Vettel was gaining. When in fact were Vettel to come up on Hamilton, who is on 3 wheels, He still would not be able to pass him.
Good race by Vettel anyway; I could see how relieved he was to not have to face the BOSS.
