While his faultfinders contend that the win at Russia was skilled to him because of group orders upheld on Bottas, what one cannot undermine is the move Hamilton pulled on Vettel in the center stages.
On Lap 14, Vettel was the first to pit in front of the Mercedes driver. He would rise behind Bottas.
Inside a moment, Hamilton was boxed, as Mercedes responded to Ferrari’s pit-stop. Be that as it may, in a move that appeared to be obstructed and erroneous in its execution, Vettel passed Hamilton who had been on the fourth position at that time.
Most likely, Mercedes’ fans’ hearts more likely than not sunk seeing Vettel pass their saint.
However, it is what happened from there on that changed the development of the race. Inside a moment of Vettel passing the inevitable Russian Grand Prix victor, Hamilton kept raise the stakes and jumped into the outside of Vettel, to rise ahead in the run-up to a moderate right-hander, having everything except passed him on Lap 16 itself.
