Pit-stops can be key when it comes to a close race and the finest of margins can sometimes decide the outcome of an F1 race. Just when it seemed as if Sebastian Vettel was going to push this race to its last few laps, the Ferrari pit crew fumbled their way through the German's pit-stop, an error that cost him vital time and perhaps even a run for Hamilton's race lead.

While it was clear that Vettel was going to be on a one-stop strategy, a quick pit-stop and the added advantage of the ultra-soft tyres could have been enough to see him breeze past Bottas and ultimately challenge Hamilton for track position. However, that didn't happen and a slow pit-stop greatly benefited Lewis instead.
