Vettel comm feed was interesting.

As much as Mercedes and particularly Hamilton dominating is boring, really have to admire the work put in to have such consistent execution. All the moving parts of an F1 team, they deserve the credit for getting it together.

Meanwhile Verstappen is someone I'm pulling for, but while Mercedes is just being as calculated as can be to hold pace, he has to take the risks just to keep up and has to think about actually chasing.

I didn't understand why Verstappen was complaining about the slow pace from the leader, but by the same token didn't try to take the race to Hamilton. Seems that if he's going too slowly, then by rights you should be able to catch him at least, and get him to start thinking about defending or speeding up instead of managing his tires. Otherwise, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
