Gotta feel bad for Bottas. Hardly a second driver considering his pace. Mostly just bad luck has him as far back as he is. Understand the call from Merc, but wish they’d give Bottas a fair shot
 
Aaaand Merc told Bottas to hold position. Between this and the "tactics" debacle at Silverstone, it's becoming harder to root for Mercedes. 👎
 
I don’t think Lewis will be popular if he makes the podium today

There were a lot of cheers coming from the stands when Vettel parked it. Mercedes is still a German badge, and Germans do love their own brands.
 
What a race, what a race... though I still don’t understand why Ferrari didn’t swap Kimi and Seb round soon as they where 1-2...

Also Hulk winning the F1B race!

And Vettel has always been received rather coldly compared to Schumacher.

You could also argue that if Ferrari hadn't swapped, Raikkonen would be the first through there as opposed to Vettel.
 
What an anti-climax that ended up being. And what an indictment that a man can win from 14th without ever really stretching his legs.
It's more a highlight that a Button-style 14th to first is actually a much faster car than where he was.
 
Lack of development means cars that are dominant stay dominant.

If we come back to that statement in another half a dozen years and Merc/Ferrari still have a stranglehold on everyone else then yes, you may have a point. That said, it wasn't very long ago that Vettel/RB were looking as solid as a rock, but they got knocked off their perch eventually.
