Would disagree on Vettel's 'luck', following a close battle hoping to pick up the pieces isn't exactly luck. He had a great start and held good pace throughout. I was pretty happy that he got to share the podium with Hamilton getting his 7th WDC.
Hamilton's 7th WDC has been a foregone conclusion for most of the season, I'm not surprised at the lack of fanfare for it finally happening given all the associated discussions have been going on throughout the season. While he did well on his tyres (as did Perez), it looks like staying on the old tyres was the right move as those who moved to fresh intermediates suffered graining, struggled to clear it and lost pace relative to those that stayed on the same set.
I hope the bit about expecting praise for Hamilton racing with a worse car was a joke.

Surprised all the chat here is about Vettel (who got super lucky), Sainz and Perez and not the 7 time world champion who managed to win the race on 51 lap, bald, intermediate despite having a demonstrably worse car than others on the grid yesterday. Bottas managed 14th with the same car...
Still find it difficult to like him but fuck me if he isn't an incredible driver.
