The Ferrari engine cars are wisping smoke in the race today, I don't recall seeing it so obvious in a race before.

Will RIC have tyre change drama with the bump sustained earlier? Also no one utilising chat for this race.

So, do Ferrari keep Vettel out for ages and then give him a very fast last stint to catch / pass Hamilton on old tyres? I guess that's what Plan C (or whatever) is.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Should be a safe second place for Vettel now. Kimi is doing a great job as well.

Am I missing something why didn’t they put Hamilton on mediums to the end knowing the others had to stop again?

And why wouldn’t they pit Vettel now for mediums knowing Hamilton will have to stop again? Forces Hamilton to catch and then try to pass when there isn’t really the delta

So Vettel is putting pressure on Hamilton by pulling away from him on old tyres?
Always find the gap then use it.

Vettel will win from here assuming no troubles. He'll come out close to Hamilton and be on much faster rubber.

Or gambling on a VSC. Highly likely at this track. And he will be in the lead.

Surely Ham just looking after his tyres ?

No matter how well he looks after his tyres, they'll be how many laps old compared to fresh new tyres on Vettel. Vettel will be able to chuck everything at the tyres for many fewer laps. That plays in to Vettel's hand. Good call from Ferrari.

No way Hamilton goes to the end - think they should have put him on mediums

If Hamilton has to pit again then Vettel wins. Whatever, Vettel wins.

Will Vettel's tire's be competitive to the end from here?
