Lewis can cruise to WC anyway...
Lewis’ times on his worn mediums was still as fast as Vettel, hence there’s no way that Vettel would have caught/passed Lewis with only 11 laps remaining. Bottas was gaining since he was on new softs, BUT Bottas is only really good when he’s in the lead and in clean air. When he tries to pass a really good driver he bottles it.

Hence the stupid MB ‘strategy’ call cost Lewis at least a second place finish; (and perhaps a first).
