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.

Don't understand Ric. He's miles behind and putting in new lap record laps. Why is he so far back from Ver/Vet? Did I miss something?
He had a spin under VSC
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Merc 25 seconds in the lead. Is it 2016 again?
Dare say they had the pace in Australia to do the same, but tried to manage a bit too much which cost them the race.

Today, they’ve just put the hammer down & not tried to manage the gap

Because I can't think of choosing anyone else.

Lewis did a clean job not letting anyone near. And won a race. So I guess that would be a better pick.

Unfortunately that tyre cloud would dampen that choice.

Australia is being overrated way too much. Mercedes was the fastest car there, yes, and they (in particular Hamilton) managed the tyres well, yes, but firstly Australia is such a unique track and secondly Ferrari was way off understanding their car yet.
Today Mercedes is dominant again, but the different tyres clearly help them most. They didn't do some magic in 2 weeks to be a lot faster than Ferrari and RBR on race pace.

Surely anyone wanting a "neutral" DotD would go with Magnusson. A very lonely but competent 6th place.
