The start was relitvely good one for Seb. Not only that but Lewis on P2 got massive wheel spins going off the line so before even braking for turn 1 he was already in front of him. This whole thing went well up until the latter period of Seb and Lewis' 2nd stint. Lewis decided to box for a fresh set of prime tyres. Everyone expected Ferrari to react by boxing Seb a lap after. But this didn't happen to be the case. Ferrari saw that Lewis was clearly attempting 3 stops so they decided to stretch out Seb's stint on his second option tyres a bit longer.
Sebastian eventually came in for his prime tyres and got out quite far behind Lewis. Lewis managed to do fast laps in his set of primes. He set several 1.29m laps before ending his stint and pitting for the last time for option tyres. He got out ahead of Sebastian. Well and truly ahead. And at that moment, the top 3 of the race was sealed. Sebastian just keeps on dropping from the Mercs and Lewis can't catch Nico. So it is Nico Rosberg P1, Lewis Hamilton P2, and Sebastian Vettel P3. It wasn't the best result for Sebastian. But getting 4 podiums out of 5 races for Ferrari surely is consistent. Looking forward to Monaco.
