The German benefited from unusual Ferrari strategy to leapfrog past his team-mate Charles Leclerc into the lead.
Ferrari pitted Leclerc, who had led the race from the start from pole position, next time around but Vettel’s pace advantage on his first lap out of the pits on fresh tyres ensured he was ahead of Leclerc when the 21-year-old emerged from the pits.
When Vettel pitted, Hamilton said to his team they should try to “undercut” Leclerc in the same fashion but that opportunity was removed when Leclerc stopped on the very next lap.
