Because people like to act salty.
Yeah, people love a conspiracy theory but Seb went full on beast mode on those laps.

I think that was fair game by Ferrari. Vettel was so much faster once Kimi pitted.
Why did Button pit again!?

Why would Seb's garage do that? Doing some extra laps was the only hope for them to get the lead.
This is silly. The third and most logical option is that they were letting them race.
I know, just wondering if he had pitted yet.
Vettel was doing monster laps. No way.
They were hoping for a safety car so Button could gain some positions when some people pitted.
Kimi could have waited for Seb to pit and he would be ahead, whatever, I understand why Ferrari did this.
Yeah he was pumping in some great laps, and ultimately he didn't end up that far ahead. He earned that place in my view. Ferrari certainly wanted the switch, but Vettel had to be quick to do it.

It's so annoying that this shit is going to overshadow the Ferrari achievement today. For fuck's sake.
And his pit stop was slightly quicker. Kimi was nothing more than unlucky all in all. Half a second difference through the pits.
So was Danny
Why watch Sky when C4 has the race?
It's just Croft being a vile little troll. Watch the C4 coverage, they haven't really made it an issue. They just said Vettel did a good job.
Exactly. People needlessly trying to inject some Game of Thrones treachery into proceedings.
It's great fucking driving is what it is.

It was clear whoever came in first would end up second. Driving a few fast laps vs coming and coming back on track behind slower cars that are a lap behind. Everyone knew what was gonna happen.
Crofty is a fucking tool.
Lewis making a decent enough recovery.
In my case I'm at work and we have about 100 sports channels but no Channel 4.
Good thing I'm watching on C4 then.

Kimi did not have the speed to drive those lap times.

Well close racing isn't possible due to the overcharged dirty air effect so they can't crash into anybody.
Don't have a choice in Australia.
Fair. Unlucky.
It's the same as we have seen with Mercedes the last 3 years. The strategy they went with gave the second place driver the chance to overtake.
To be clear I don't think they did anything wrong. I would have just ordered Kimi to move over on lap 2 if it was me. Kimi is not winning the championship. They found a smarter way to do the swap.

Kimi wasn't pulling out good lap times.
So after Bottas and Verstappen pitted, it was the only rational thing to do.
Checking out 4K for the first time at a mates' house.
It doesn't matter in Monaco, you just stay ahead and you win, Kimi would have been ahead if he stopped one lap after Seb, but it didn't happen for an obvious reason, it's nothing bad really, it just the way it is.
There are other ways to watch it.

Seems more like Kimi gave up and is just keeping the position.
