Vettel and Ferrari may have just shot themselves in the foot.

Brilliant by Mercedes. Test the hard tire for Hamilton and allow a 1 stop for Bottas. This is gonna be good.
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

Nah Seb has gone from 2 second ahead to 8 seconds ahead in a few laps, mercedes were the ones that didn't capitalise on the undercut opportunity. 2 stop is the better strategy today by the looks of it. We will see at the end but i'm pretty confident Ferrari have called it better.

Vettel is tied into a 2 stop Bottas will run to the end on those Mediums a Medium tyre that has just set the fastest lap. Vettel is also behind Hamilton and the BOTH have to stop again.

Since Vet managed to pass Ham on track, it seems that Vet has the edge now

He will be around 20 seconds behind him. He will have to burn the life out of those Tyres just to catch him.

Vettel will win this because Bottas can't get close enough to put pressure on him. The race is for third place now.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
