Vettel over the moon as he explains key to podium finish
Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel returned to the podium with a second place finish after starting from 11th place on the grid
Author Thomas Maher
A beaming Sebastian Vettel has explained where he felt the key to his success was as the German driver finished in second place from an 11th place grid slot.
Vettel had great pace throughout the race, running a long first stint after looking after his starting soft tyres, and slowly climbed the order to finish on the podium.
"I think it means a great deal, obviously it's been a tough start for us," Vettel smiled after the race, when asked how much the return to the podium meant for the former Racing Point outfit.
"I think it was a great race, we had good pace, that was the key obviously we had a good start, made some positions straight away then looked after my tyres.
"As soon as everybody went into the pits, I'd really good pace to overcut, you can see the restart worked brilliantly for me. And, yeah, I mean, we obviously have fresher tyres which I guess helped warming up the tires later on so, yeah, great day, I mean, I'm over the moon."

Has there been anything written as to if it was debris on the track that caused both tire failures?

I want to say I am delighted for Vettel. I think Karma has bitten him badly over the last number of years and humbled him somewhat in the process which was badly needed. It's good to see him come back to close to his best at least in the last two races. He'll never be a GOAT but he is an amazing driver when everything clicks.

Perez!!!, it keeps getting better for him. With thirty points away from the leader, this race win has brought him into the title fight. Well a very good outside chance.
Like l said, an unlikely winner would win this race. Maybe, l should start giving betting advice :-)Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

What a mad race. Perez with a hydraulic issue that could have retired his car at anytime. Hamilton trying to use some "magic" at the end to win the race - finished behind Mazespin. Vettel getting on the podium.
Very entertaining race.

There is word from Pirelli that they found a cut on the inside of one of Lewis's tires , which is pointing to the other blow-outs being also caused by debris .
They aren't sure about where Lance picked it up , but Max's suspected debris issue was likely the result of Lance's accident .
Given that they had a number of other runners who ran as many laps , and that there were no signs that there was any issue at all for either Lance's or Max's engineering teams prior to the blow outs , it's unlikely a tire construction issue , and more likely a carbon fiber one .

a tough day in the office for Verstappen and Hamilton.
Happy for Perez, Vettel and Gasly. Each drove an outstanding race.
It was a weird race with hamilton only giving up the lead because he was held in the pits by Gasly.
And verstappen only keeping his lead because Perez had a slow pit stop. So Max didn't do much of anything to earn his leads.
Mercedes need to consider doing the bottas russell switch soon methinks.
This race, more than any other proves the quality of Hamilton who kept that car in p1 for a while despite being the 3rd fastest car on the grid.
And Bottas showing, yet again, to everyone why he is a decent but not great driver. I honestly feel that the team is better served with Russell in the 2nd seat going forward this season.you can't argue with results.
