It's a wrap. Sebastian gets it. Next to china. Rosberg needs to pull up his socks. For Lewis and team. Learn from mistakes today

Roseberg has been mentally battered, his desire to compete with Lewis seems to be eroded.
Today was all about getting the gurudumus strategy wrong for the mercs - it will be back to business as usual in china

From the press reports one got the idea there was a chasm between the Merc and other teams. Ferrari must have done a good job of playing the part to the illusion -their package is better than previously thought.
Interesting......

Not so sure. Wrong tire strategy by Merc for LH cost them. He even said it soon after leaving the pit stop. He wanted the medium tires but was given the slower harder tires. And yet he trimmed Vettel's lead from 22 secs to 8secs. It was an error by his team. Otherwise, he would have won it, if he had faster tires.

@Jus Blazin.....I think Ferrari’s two-stop strategy won them the race, Mercedes decision to pit both cars and fit them with their preferred hard tires when the safety car came out was miscalculated. Vettel was simply perfect yesterday and i don't think there's much that could have been done to stop him from winning. If Vettel had made a 3rd pit stop when the gap was almost 25 seconds he would have been unstoppable.

really? was not coz of bad wrong tires given to hamilton. was coz of many things but mainly coz of the early pit stop by mercedes and was coz the ferrari had better tire management than mercedes. even with the mediums for hamilton instead of the hard compound he was not catching vettel. had a feeling that it reached a stage where vettel was no longer pushing and if hamilton had pushed him he would have simply pushed harder. could have been coz of the high temperature or not but we shall see the tire management in the next races.

Lewis had already used up his medium tires during qualifying. he only had new prime tires for the race. it was just not a weekend for mercedes

If Sebastian was in the place of Roseberg, Hamilton would never have increased his championships past one.

This season will be interesting to watch, Ferraris' do have a bargaining point. LW admitted after post practice interview that Kimi showed the pace and power of the Ferrari car.

Looking forward for the next race, Its no longer a one mans race.
