Looks like plan b is enough though i still think plan a would've worked seb has been blistering today and bottas not so much.

Ferrari have aced the strategy here. And Merc have failed to see the full picture..... they were 100% sure Vettel would not make it without stopping again.

Hamilton has backed off by the looks of it. Engine saving?

vettel must hold on to make this strategy work because they could have pushed harder and easily come back at bottas to win with a 2nd stop

I know it's a Sky thing but if Vettel wins then he should be driver of the day.

I suspect no cliff and Ferrari have done a really nice job.

Hamilton sleeping and on the fresher tyres should have been putting in 33s about 10 laps ago.

And there's the cliff, Bottas 2.5 behind....

I wonder if Merc will have the sense to slow right down and back Vettel up if he gets in front.

Don't really like Vettel, but fair play to him for this.

Oh and Bottas... he is crap.
