The most important outcome though, should be that Mercedes with an inferior car is leading Driver's Championship.
If it comes up with a different car in Spain, it could have a clear advantage from now on.

Sainz was not in a place to overtake. Verstappen slowed down to negate advantage

Deal. Hamilton was lucky today.
But Vettel allowed this win. He is not the same Vettel when under pressure, I think this is clear now.
I think vettel's move was a very calculated risk. He was simply betting that his tires were warm enough to not lock up when Bottas was driving gingerly.
Sure, I'm not implying it was an illogical move.
And the outcome says that Vettel made a mistake.
Like hamilton has, you mean. Just the lucky outcome does not say so.

Oops, my bad. I had in mind that Vettel retired, oh, wishful thinking :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Enjoy the shallow victory only way Hamilton can win.
Ah... Bu** hurt? Luck has a strange way of going around.
lol no bu*hurt here, the only that does is you, that's why you have been quiet until now.
It's such a pity they don't offer Internet, even in business class. Stupid people make you wait until you reach the lounge.

You can say a lot about it, but I do like the all or nothing approach from Vettel.. it is still early on in the season, so you can take some risk.
Really that was idiotic from Vettel
He panicked and was desperate.
He should have thought about the championship..... all or nothing approach are for rookies not for 4 times WDC.
Was pathetic really , he was countering Lewis and tried something and missed the brake

Come on, man. When you take a risk and you fail, you only have to blame yourself. He just didn't execute it correctly, it isn't the end of the world. We all make mistakes.
Hamilton was lucky today, as he was unlucky in Australia. In the end, bad & good luck tend to even out.

And what about Hamilton who managed to ruin his suspersofts losing about 4 seconds when he was ALONE?
For sure when the SC enter the luckiest win.
