Arrivabene admits Vettel strategy errorpublished at 21:01 British Summer Time 12 June 2016
Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has told Sky Sports that it was the wrong decision to switch Sebastian Vettel to a two-stop strategy.
"We overestimated the degradation of the tyres," he admits.
"That's the reason we brought him in and it's the wrong decision."

Here's a bit more from Lewis Hamilton, and whether the title battle has shifted in his favour: "We are just going to take things once race at a time. There's still work to do.
"There's a long, long way to go and the other guys are getting faster and faster. I am overwhelmed. It feels just as great as my first win back in 2007."

'A fun race'published at 20:50 British Summer Time 12 June 2016
Sebastian Vettel, who finished second: "Lewis was a bit too quick, that was the issue. We had a great weekend, a fantastic start. It was very windy today, I maybe struggled with the wind behind. We committed fairly early to a different strategy and probably Lewis' tyres lasted better than we expected.
"It was a really fun race."

Race winner Lewis Hamilton in the podium interviews tells actor Michael Douglas: "Today I had another really bad start, not sure why - possibly overheated the clutch. Feel very grateful that Nico and I didn't damage our cars. Then I had fun chasing down this guy (Vettel).
"We got the set-up right. I won my first grand prix here in 2007 and it feels such a blessing."

If I was at Ferrari, I'd be very frustrated. They threw that one away, I feel.

"I enjoyed chasing you down," says Sebastian Vettel to Lewis Hamilton. "I enjoyed chasing you down at the beginning!" Hamilton responds.
Then some slightly awkward seagull chat follows.
"I was watching out for seagulls," says Vettel.

I don't think Rosberg is cracking but it's another messy grand prix.
