Literally everything that could have gone hamilton's way so far, has gone his way.

Why did Merc pit Lewis right when the VSC ended?

You just seen the most evidence you can have of how merc has tons more power than ferrari. Vettel pulling the slipstream and still 10 kph slower than hamilton 10 car legths behind.

Merc pitted Ham just in time, where Ferrari was stupid to wait with Vettel. It costed Vettel 6 seconds...
Everybody is a Ferrari fan.

Yup. That's easily >30-40HP difference, probably more. Impressive.

Hopefully any jokes of ferrari being on merc's level in terms of power are done and dusted now.

Very clever move. Lewis still benefited a bit (he only lost ~15s in the stop compared to +22 under full pace) while Ferrari couldn't react under VSC. They had to do their stop under full race pace.

It sounded as if Hamilton had no clue about the early race strategy. The team won him that race.

Fingers crossed for a pass from Vettel on Hamilton at the start. Im curious how that Merc performs in dirty air.
Hope you got the answers. :)
