They'll swap Kimi and Seb - gap down to 2 seconds now.
Oh they've changed the graphics from gaps between cars to gaps to leader.

It's entirely possible that the Mercedes would have had to pit twice even if they had pitted under the VSC with the others. Maybe 4th was as good as he could get...

Vettel able to swap fastest lap times with Hamilton even though the tyres are different and hugely different age.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Here's one for next week - if the UK's current "heat wave" continues in to next weekend, Ferrari will be looking at the win there too. They love the hotter temps.

Are they going to try to get Raikkonen past Verstappen to hold him up? Then get Vettel through for the win - unless he can't get close enough then a last lap switch.

Hamilton essentially lost the win because Bottas in his idiocy instead of bringing the car back to the pits decided to park it at one of the few places that did not have an emergency exit ... well done by the sulking fin.

Once the VSC was out the race was lost anyways, just as just_a_fan wrote in the post above...

Irrelevant now. But lets not support our chosen drivers by denigrating others.

Now i'm glad he didn't pit under VSC. DNF from P1 would've been a lot more painful.

Double penalty for the Mercedes drivers later in the season then. Assuming a new engine is required in Ham, new gearbox in Bot?
