Always find the gap then use it.

More like tyres not in their window for optimal mechanical grip. S1 and S2 may have been decent because of decent aero grip.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Funny that Gro caused the crash and was classified higher than those he took out!

If Vettel had stayed out, he would have finished second or third at least. Unless the tyres were gone, which I don't think, the stop was silly.
It would have been an even better 2nd place against a dominant Mercedes car this weekend.
Well it doesnt matter right now, Ferrari had no pace this race, Hamilton after safety car was nearly 1 second faster than Seb, this is a disaster. I dont care anymore, because I suspected this. Poor Kimi, Seb was second and the team destroyed his races, bravo! I am getting used of it, and I am not very suprised.
Dude. Just stay calm this time. Please
Would you stay calm if what has happened to Seb would have happen to Hamilton? I think not. Seb deserved at least 1 win in last 3 races. This sport is a big joke..

All this race truly shows is that who wins and who loses, comes down to who can best utilize the tires during any given race.

In my opinion it's just like early 2012, no one fully understands yet how to get the complete range of Tire compounds working in all conditions.

Arrivabene on the new tyres: "It's not in Ferrari's DNA to complain. We haven't done so. Having said that, Toto can say what he wants, but a clarification: there is a difference between being consulted and being informed. We have been informed, not consulted"

I want to know why KMag was given blue flags when Bottas exited the pits, allowing Vettel to pass him.

Vettel said they thought a two stop was the faster strategy. He also said that the mediums wouldn't have made it to the end.

If you want to get all worked up about something, start considering what Ferraris reliability looks like.

I saw that, probably race control mistake because all marshals were waving blue flags. Magnussen probably knew he wasn't being lapped so he didn't slow down.

He didn't defend though, everyone else took the inside to defend that corner, he didn't...
