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

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

Yeah... I agree. Sorry to have riled up some guys here today. It was a good race.

Mega recover from Lewis today Dead Last to P2. Kinda feels like a win. Just 8 points the gap and after lap 1 you were expecting much more. Great race today those SC's really spice things up a treat but Mercedes should've boxed Bottas.

Given the comments on the tire tread thickness after stint 1 where Vettel was supposedly marginal, I believe that the Ferraris work the tires harder than the Merc. Therefore the temp is better distributed into the core and also kept on cool down sections such as straights.
With the normal tires there is enough thickness to go through, with the thin layered ones there is not enough, thus the pendulum swings towards Merc. Will be interesting to see how Merc are going to deal with their working the tires in the races to come.

Great job Lewis. Avoid interview...

Not a big Kimi fan, but has to be drive of the day (no. I am not referring to the tap on Lewis. (of whom I am a fan)

[JPBD1990]

Sports fans are the one thing I hate about f1. Can’t people just be satisfied with an interesting race and some great racing? It’s always fanboys being butt hurt. When did everyone turn into a petulant child?

[z.topoln]

Do these incidents really need a SC?
In Austria, did Bottas retirement really need a VSC?

I dont know. Ask family of jules bianchi what they think.

It's going to be tough for Ferrari to not re-sign Kimi if he keeps adding podiums like this.

[Mandrake]

The Ferrari team not celebrating as enthusiastically as in other occasions. Afraid of English crowd or gotten too used to winning? I mean they just beat the Mercs on their absolute hometurf.

Stewards have to grow up and understand the gravity of these reckless driving that Ferraris are doing. Too soft penalties.

Penalties are fine,the problem is that they serve them while they pit so even with the extra 5-10seconds whats the point when the other guy is already last 30 seconds off the race...Make them serve them independently from their pit stop as a stop and go/or drive through and then you can call that justice... Just my 2 cents.

Can we discuss how the SC helped Ferrari?

Bottas was closing the gap on Vettel. (from 4 to sub 2s)
Hamilton was closing the gap on Kimi and Verstappen. (from 12+ to ~4s)

Highly likely they would have overtaken them respectively.

This would have resulted in Vettel getting 3 more points than Hamilton, now it was 7 points.

It only helped Ferrari because the Mercs couldn't pit. Better plans with tyres next time...

[F1NAC]

So Lewis and his boys thinking that it was intentional. Good fight ahead.

Vettel was managing his pace. That's what happens when you're leading.

Even if Vettel had a worse pace than Bottas, I doubt he would have been overtaken by the Fin. I don't think the delta would have been big enough.
