Different press rules for different teams... don't you see it?

Did the team orders guys see Bottas had fallen out of DRS from Vettel but Hamilton was in DRS from Bottas. That, and Bottas's tyres going off made it an easy pass. That's why Kimi eased by too.
Hamiltons tires are also younger.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

All I'm saying that if Vettel overtook Raikkonen last week then it would be a team orders fiasco.

Bottas defended harder against Hamilton than against the attack of Vettel which eventually put him in front ... Ferrari already out here taking out Hamilton to win the championship - pathetic.

Oh well if Ferrari can still win without specially designed tires and without team orders, the sweeter the victory.

Great race - and great win. Deserved victory for Seb and Ferrari.

I think Hamilton would have walked this if he didn’t get hit though, had the pace the whole time - and no deg.

Where? Hamilton just drove past the FIRST possibility?

If Ham and Bot were on the same life of tyre then yes, it would stink. But they weren't.

Hamilton would have won this race without the spin. So that's great news for Ferrari today. Increasing the gap in both Championships

Excellent racing from everyone today with various strategies and the back to back SC. In the end, despite the result, good racing is what we want and good racing is what we got.

Expecting people to understand technical details on a technical forum, don't you know intelligence is highly overrated.
