Could this be Ferrari's year?
Vettel appears to be faster than Hamilton.
Could be down to strategy and tyres.
Sebastian Vettel has to go onto the medium at some point. Lewis Hamilton could remain on his present tyres if he can make them last to the end.
Lewis Hamilton pits and puts on the faster soft tyres.
Sebastian Vettel also pits and puts on the mediums.
Valtteri Bottas out.
Mercedes engine has smoke coming out of it.
