Vettel managed a race when he was forced into a one stopper. Hamilton was lucky that both RB and RAI had problems this weekend.

TBH at the key point the team radio wasn't working properly.
Horrific by Mercedes. Vettel was just sticking the knife in with his comments.... I'd have done the same as it was Mercedes race to lose and they did just that.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 18:50Vettel saying the tyres were shot 10 laps out. Great drive by him in that case. Poor by Mercedes. Should have been pushing Vettel, not driving to a "he must pit" delta.
Vettel lucky that Hamilton had a gearbox penalty. He was only 5 seconds behind having driven two stints on "slower" tyres. If he'd been in P4, he'd have won today.
If he’d had been in 4th, a two stopper would have been the go for all of the top 4 and the race would have essentially been nutralised. Just appreciate the race! This person got lucky, that person got lucky. Blah blah blahhhhhJust_a_fan wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 18:53Vettel lucky that Hamilton had a gearbox penalty.

I was referring to the the race itself not the weekend as a whole. If Hamilton had no gearbox penalty then Vettel's strategy would be different don't you think?Just_a_fan wrote:Vettel lucky that Hamilton had a gearbox penalty.

I think everyone will vote him and then Ericson great job from both.
- It's rather opposite : Alonso, "we can forget about midfield and challenge RB" - loses badly to 3 MF teams

PIRELLI seems to have done a Bridgestone, but at least it helps in drivers pushing and racing hard. This is considered the most abrasive track on the calendar. So, teams can now bet on Softs to do an entire race. That is good.
