After the procession in Melbourne, Ferrari’s horse power has pranced into the reckoning. But the questions afterwards will be about Mercedes’ strategy calls, as Hamilton’s race ended with him and the pit wall exchanging fractious radio messages.
Both Hamilton, who finished second, and Vettel drove wonderfully well over the weekend, but Ferrari won the battle of the backroom brains as Mercedes floundered. The events of this steamy afternoon at Sepang will give hope to rivals who wonder aloud how the world champion team will react when the pressure is on them.
For a sport in crisis, this was the revival in Malaysia, an absorbing contest between the Silver Arrow of Lewis Hamilton and the ultimately victorious shiny red machine of Sebastian Vettel.
