I enjoyed that race thoroughly. Glad to see Lewis on the top step again.
Vettel did have very bad luck, but he didn't just have a flat. From everything that I saw, it looked like a full on tire failure. I keep going back to the tire getting pulled off the rim from the lateral G of the second corner. He had zero issue in the first corner, the tire while under load looked fine. Then all of a sudden, the tire is deflated and the rim is scraping along the track not even half way through corner 2. It's really a shame they didn't have a camera set up on the apex of that corner looking in. (Doesn't seem like too much to ask of F1, to have 1 camera at each corner specifically.)
