Means Vettel can push without worrying about tyres. He doesn't have to close the gap, just keep it close until the final stint where he'll be on the faster tyres. With conditions like this, he needed clear air, the longer he was behind Bottas the less he could push while still sticking with a pit on lap 40 or whatever.

Yeah understand he is playing the long game, but not sure it will work. At least hope it's a close race by the end.

Edit: Looks like he is gaining now so maybe this will become interesting soon after all.
 
Riccardo doing very well so far. Red Bull going into plan C. I'm assuming they were not expecting to get past people as quickly
 
Hamilton's lead is evaporating fast.

Still matching Bottas (somehow). Vettel's just unleashing some pace, the plan C they spoke about on the radio is probably a two-stop to get track position on Bottas.

Looks like all the overtaking will come down to the pit lane.
 
Ferrari screwing up the pit stops today.
 
Those fastest laps from Bottas and the slow Ferrari stop could be crucial. Still expect Vettel to clear him within a few laps though, he'll have so much more pace.
 
This Ferrari should be shitting all over the mercs, poor strategy and pits stops have cost Vettel today.. oh and feck Hamilton.
 
Vettel gonna catch Bottas in the next lap or so.
