Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas humiliated the Ferrari team at their home circuit when they finished 1st and 2nd while Ferrari’s Vettel crossed the line 3rd, half a minute behind. The scarlet faces began to show in qualifying when Raikkonen and Vettel could only manage 7th and 8th. There were delighted faces in the Force India and Williams camp as Ferrari’s loss became Lance Stroll’s and Esteban Ocon’s gain. Hamilton led from start to finish and dominated the race. F1 fans took Twitter to express their reactions on the race.
