Sebastian Vettel spectacularly announced
Ferrari’s return as a Formula 1 force by beating the Mercedes drivers to
win an absorbing Malaysia GP.
In just his second grand prix for the Scuderia since his
high-profile winter switch from Red Bull, Vettel ended his new team’s
34-race victory drought with a tactical and tyre preservation triumph in
the stifling heat of Sepang.
Confirming pre-race expectations
that the impressive SF15-T would be able to complete one fewer pitstop
than the Mercedes W06 as track temperatures soared beyond 60 degrees,
Vettel stopped only twice and overhauled Lewis Hamilton who came home
second.
Vettel’s victory, the landmark 40th of his career, just one less than
Ayrton Senna and the German’s first since his last title triumph in 2013, arguably represents the very first time since F1’s switch to hybrid
engines last year that Mercedes have been beaten on pure performance.
