Too much turbulent air to really challenge though. He can't get quite close enough to get the run on him down the straight. I think the McLaren is a lot stronger on the brakes though so if he does get close he should have a good shot at it.

Yeah, he's got about half a second advantage there which is massive.

The car is almost a second slower than Macca and Redbull.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Seb takes those corners after drs straight much wider which helps him getting better acceleration.

DID VETTEL JUST CHANGE DIRECTION 2 TIMES???

He nearly hit Hamilton as he was coming past though with some really clumsy driving. That was awful from Vettel with his weaving.
