I think he had some kind of contact with a Haas into turn 1 and struggled afterwards.
They tried to do a two stopper. But was a really bad choice afterwards. So they did just 1 and struggled because of that.
Hamilton is 34 points ahead of Vettel but the Ferrari looks insanely strong and the Mercedes looks more of a question mark.
Bottas is 59 points behind Hamilton and 25 points behind Vettel. He is not out yet but his form continues to be poor.
Its still very much on considering that Red Bull is there to meddle at the front. I would say that Vettel is the favorite to score most points in the last five races, but will it be enough with the current gap?

Who are 'they'?
Dutch media, websites, TV channel, everytime something F1 related comes up at Ziggo Sport or any other channel.
Olav Mol is one of the most embarrassing TV personalities on Dutch television, and that says a lot.
Exposing yourself to Dutch television sounds like a bad time in general. Not sure why you'd bother.
Touché
Heh that's true, but they're gonna overhype him like like he's the savior of the sport, they're already calling him the next Senna or Schumacher lolI mean, which other race are we going to talk about? He finished like 4 of them

Strange guy he is, before coming pit-reporter he was a dentist, lol.
But I have to defend Olav Mol a bit, he isn't a bad commentator. Also when looking at Kai Ebel and those other clowns at German RTL Television, you 'll have to admit the Dutch F1 crew isn't that bad.
No, they are not bad, they are terrible. Even if Kai Ebel is bad, that does not somehow redeem Ziggo.
I'm really glad I switched to Sky Germany a few years ago.
Oh crap yeah he's definitely up there, I really need to watch something else other than that rubbish at Ziggo Sport with those horrible forced laughs specially everytime Verstappen opens his mouth and then there's the unfunny jokes..
Well, everybody expected Ferrari to be strong in Singapore and close in Malaysia. It depends if and what will Mercedes do with botched upgrade. Colder weather in Suzuka should help them. Looks like Lewis had battery issues for the whole race today.
Plus there is reliability factor that will kick in for both teams. Ferrari is already on penalty parts, so if VET loses another component, he is back to the grid. Mercedes still has one spare part before they reach penalty zone.
And we should scrap Bottas from title race, unless VET and HAM have a DNF on next two races.

God damn.
Hahaha
But man Amanda is distractingly beautiful.
Quite clearly strolls fault.
What even happens in this situation? The race is over....is Vettel the only one who will get penalized (assuming he needs to change gearboxes) or will stroll also get something?

If Vettel wins every race from here on: 372
If Hamilton comes 2nd every race from here on: 371

No further action according to Formula1.com
I'm starting to wonder if pace even matters anymore. Ferrari was gifted two off weekends by Mercedes in a row and somehow ended up losing a massive amount of points through crashes and reliability. Makes you wonder when the karma pendulum will swing back the other way.

Not really, Alonso had plenty of bad luck, he retired 2 or 3 times when he was running in the point plus Singapore. Stoffel is doing great lately, there is not denying it.

Everytime Kvyatt gets dropped, Max Wins.

RBR are Vettel's only hope in this championship.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Yeah Sky were chatting about that earlier. Might be worth RB keeping Kvyatt around.

Yeah they can keep him as a reserve driver and then as a test driver. At least two more win opportunities for Max.

More than that. Theres wheel off, wheel on, gun, jack and lollipop to go through. Then the person who holds the microphone next to the driver during interviews.
Dont underestimate Kvyatts ability to be relegated.
He could do with them doing him a favour or two, but if Merc don't pull their finger out Ferrari will win it because they've got the better car and have developed it better.
Merc should have been strong today on a track with long ass straights and fast sweeping corners.
And Rio Haryanto will be testing!

Such a great start he was almost passed by Bottas.
