Kimi's strategy actually beat Vettel's; they would have messed him up if Vettel had pitted first, because then Vettel would have almost certainly undercut him. ☕

Jack Kelly5 said:The fact that Lewis was just average while the Mercedes-AMG was so dominant really highlights how he managed to claw back those 2.5 to 3 seconds on Sebastian Vettel after that initial mistake.
How much effort did it actually take him to get back into DRS range within just two or three sectors?
If it were Nico Rosberg in this Mercedes, he would have been the champion by the time they hit Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

mellowtiger83 said:Kimi was sacrificed for Vettel yet again. He was clearly faster than Vettel today, but they completely botched it with some brainless strategy. He was quicker in qualifying and had a solid three-second gap over Vettel when he pitted.

mellowtiger83 said:Regardless of how things shake out, I’m personally happy about the championship race in hopes that Ferrari can finally stabilize, especially since the Mercedes-Benz car is clearly faster right now.

stormytiger4 said:So, Ted and Martin Brundle just cleared things up: if the Mercedes-Benz crew had realized Sebastian Vettel actually stood a chance at overtaking Lewis Hamilton during the VSC, they would have pushed harder to build a larger gap. Instead, because their software suggested they were safe, they played it smart with tire wear and maintained the status quo. And then, disaster strikes.

stormybadger8 said:Entering under a Safety Car cuts your pit stop time roughly in half. So why is everyone driving slower on the track than they are in the pits? In the pits, you don't face that same speed restriction found on the track—there's only the limit for entry, then nothing at all until you merge back out. Makes sense, doesn't it?

So, if you're looking at a realistic loss of about 20 seconds by pitting during the race, then doing it while entering under Safety Car is only about 10 seconds... makes sense, doesn't it?

nimblesurfer17 said:Still waiting on the math and an explanation for that lap under the VSC. How did Sebastian Vettel manage to finish ahead of Lewis Hamilton with a 10-second lead?🤔

darkmarlin16 said:It's plausible. Honestly, it's hard to believe someone could be that much of an idiot.

Brian Campbell36 said:You should probably stick to following Ferrari. You aren't exactly my private investigator or some undercover spy here to analyze everything I say. Honestly, what is with all these characters on this thread? 🤦

Brian Campbell36 said:Who exactly are you to be telling me what to do?

mellowtiger83 said:He’s definitely at fault here. After Kimi's and Ham's pit stops, he was doing an incredible job on those old tires. A well-earned win, though a little luck didn't hurt—and he managed to hold off Lewis Hamilton in the end. Bravo, Seb!!

Brian Campbell36 said:There you go. Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari just handed all that frustration and complexity straight to Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff. 🎉

Jerry Moore61 said:So, it looks like Mercedes-Benz is still struggling to follow closely behind other cars. Same design issues as last year.

electricpanther9 said:Hamilton sheds a second on a single lap? No. It isn't the car.
