Hamilton for the win as Bottas is a great rear gunner. Vettel needs to catch and pass Bottas soon
Always find the gap then use it.

Vettel’s US tyres looked ugly on the slow-mo close up.

Ferrari not happy behind the Mercedes. Hamilton should control to the end.

It was never Ferrari’s race to lose. Whoever said that was crazy. Track position is everything around this track.

Qualifying is main thing at this race.

I was expecting much more from Ferrari. Much more, really. Their Friday's pace is gone. What an easy race for Lewis.

Well, could have been intresting if Vettel would have passed Bottas at his Pitstop, but Ferrari --- up the pitstop basically killed the race at the front.

Ferrari screwed up on Vettel his pitstop. That left front... :(

Race would been a lot different otherwise

Race pace in clean air is irrelevant.
These cars cannot follow each other that well. And this track is very difficult for following and overtaking.

If Ferrari locked out front row - it would have been much the same for them I think. Controlling the race

I think it's safe to say Ferrari/Vettel will not be winning any titles this year.

They make too many mistakes when the pressure is on. That botched pit stop was just one more example of folding under pressure.

A couple more laps of this and Hamilton will have a pit stop's time in the bag.

Only listening on the radio with live timing but sounds like Bottas is doing a superb job.

If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Bit early for that assumption, SPA and Monza will play into Ferrari's hands with greater power.
