Vettel’s Sepang pace no surprise to Hamilton, Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton was not surprised by Formula 1 title rival Sebastian Vettel’s fight up the order during the Malaysian Grand Prix, saying Mercedes’ pre-race simulations predicted he would finish fourth. Hamilton slipped back from pole to finish the race second behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, while Vettel recovered to P4 from last on the grid after an issue stopped him from setting a lap time in qualifying. Hamilton extended his lead to 34 points in the drivers’ championship over Vettel, but was not disheartened to not add a greater margin in Malaysia.
