Lol this fastest lap point thing rules.

They're losing their minds over it. I didn't expect that this early in the season.

Oh look, there's a Räikkönen train except it starts from 8th instead of 4th.

Never mind it's actually Hulk train.

Lewis is really good at managing the DRS zone trigger to keep that one second gap.

Notably nobody pitted to go for the fastest lap, presumably because the risk of an extra pit stop is too high. Cf. Haas.

Bottas getting the first the bleep.

Also 30 seconds ahead of Lewis in the same car is crazy. What the gently caress happened, is the tire delta that huge for Merc?

Buttas 26 points, what a drive

Lots of people been saying he's poo poo lately, he deserves this. He's not bad at all.

The downfield results are fantastic, they're so spread out. This should be a decently fun season.

Every team but Williams scored points, right? That's awesome.

Wouldn't have mattered.
What Sky aren't telling you, because they're too stupid to know it, is Lewis was "so slow" because his speed was to counter Max's late stop strategy.
If he'd have tried to keep closer to Bottas Max would have walked by him in the last few laps.
By backing off he gave himself enough rubber to fight Max off.

His gap to bottas is completely irrelevant.

His gap to max was 1.5 seconds and dropping with 12 to go. When he poo poo the bed and went in the dirt it was 3.5 with 6 to go. Max managed to close that gap again. He had the pace. Lewis didn’t have the rubber to hold him off for 10 laps

Bottas pulling a Rosberg and spoiling Hamilton’s sixth would be a cool way for this year to turn out.

It wouldn't have mattered, you can let the gap get down to 1.5, which Lewis did, then hit the gas to keep it above 1.0, which he did.
Lewis said he had it covered so this is exactly what was happening. Max said the same.
