Lap 51/66
"How about Plan C," Sebastian Vettel's race engineer asks.
Tense times on the track but in the Ferrari hospitality area there's a lovely moment. A young Ferrari fan was earlier seen on camera in tears but Kimi Raikkonen has come over and put an arm around him. He's beaming with joy. That's made his day.
And they call Raikkonen "The Ice Man".......

The young Ferrari fan who was in tears after Kimi Raikkonen's retirement has been invited into the Ferrari motorhome to watch the rest of the race with the Finn.
He seems thrilled. Kimi almost breaks a smile himself...

'Incredible drive'

Mercedes chairman Niki Lauda: It was good. Lewis saved the race with an incredible drive. The strategy was great, but it was the driver who won it. I only feel sorry for Bottas whose engine blew up.
