But a really 'pie (more likely punch) in the face moment' for Ham. Haha

It's obvious that pitting under safety car (real or virtual) should be beneficial, coz everyone will have to slow down and hence take longer to go around the track. If one is on the pit stop window like Seb was, then of course he can benefit from pitting under the safety car period.

I agree that it's good though that the winning car is not yet the fastest one, so let the fastest car try to close the points gap.

Good to see McLaren (even with some luck) able to score good points and both cars finishing. At least for now they have vindicated their switch from Honda to Renault. TR on the other hand still struggling as expected.

Very pity for Hass, unbelievable that they could screw up on both cars pit stops. At least pace wise they seem to lead the midfield pack now.

Race is still not interesting enough but at least the gap is not that big. Kimi hounding Lewis the whole race but when Vettel Jumped ahead he kinda lost pace. Probably to save fuel/engine. Too bad for Haas. Toro Rosso showed reliability in testing but race time was disappointing. I really wanted them to beat McLaren.

Especially after the joke Ham made on Saturday to Seb. Lucky for him Seb did not fire at him during the podium interview coz he could have done that very easily!

Lewis himself had couple of lucky moment, including one in Monaco when he damaged his tyre, salvaged by a pitstop and got even better luck by having safety car later, he was crowned as champion in that Monaco GP. Forgot which year was it.

If "Strat 14" mode do take away the lifespan of the engine, I would've not activated it if I'm in the 44 car, but I'm sitting here and not the world champion.

but Lewis was complaining that no one in Merc told him that Seb would be very close after Ferrari pitstop, I think that's an overlook/mistake from Mercedes (or it's just the way they managing their driver on track by not telling them), but I doubt it will be useful, because even if Lewis had been informed, how fast can he go under the VSC mode?

So damage limitation @ 2nd place. expecting more for 2018

Mercs said there's a software problem that gave them the incorrect time estimation on the VSC window. Anyway as you said Lewis also cannot do anything as his speed was already governed by the VSC rule like everyone else and if he went faster then he should get penalized which is even worse. It's just Seb's luck that he's in that window to exploit the advantage, just like any advantage that can be gained during normal safety car too.

I watched the interview just for that... But didn't happened. Haha

Yeah exactly, I was already anticipating that Seb would fire back with stinging joke at Ham but surprisingly he did not! Maybe he decided to be classy and just did not want to rub the salt in the wound.

He doesn't have to, Lewis made himself look like a fool already for being so smug.

Hahaha Lewis wears his heart on his sleeve.
Maybe Seb is also saving it until the end of the season if he managed to win the title. He doesn't want to celebrate too much as he knows the Merc is still faster.

Just read that Mercs have that software problem, it's mistake by Mercs you are right.

Seb dont want 2 become another schu-cheater-macher

Rather save it till the final race😄😄😃😃

So the fastest Merc got software bug misinterpret Vettel's speed la~~ Got overheating problem when tailgating others la~~
Suddenly so many issues for championship formula team...

Overheating seems like the compromise they willing to make, since their car is the fastest, and most of the time will be in front.

Seb's hair cut makes him look like a white supremacist, isn't he?

Dam memoseire

yes. i think because SIC drop sepang and they replace with french track. soo long and it come back.

When race drivers were still gladiators!

I think the main problem is that there should be no overtaking with vsc. However since Vettel didn't have to play by the rule, he go full throttle thus gaining an advantage.

I have no problem with gaining an advantage with SC play. It really depends on your luck when the SC was deployed. However VSC was designed so that everyone maintain the gap thus no one gain advantage. The fact that Vettel and Riciarddo gained an advantage show the weakness of vsc.
