Report:

HSebastian Vettel controlled the Finnish Grand Prix until his retirement due to technical problems.

The Finnish Grand Prix is arguably one of the most challenging races in the sport, over seven kilometers of street circuit madness. This provides a challenge to man and machine and today, the machine failed quite often.

This was not on Sebastian Vettel’s mind, who took control of the race at the start and managed it very wisely. However, his Judd fuel cell motor did disagree with the idea of him winning his first race of 2020, causing a retirement with only a handful of laps to go.

His misfortunate is Precision’s fortune, they inherit a 1-2 victory and extended their grip on the World Constructors’ Championship. Any team that wants to challenge them will need to find performance and reliability quick.

Behind them, other drivers profited from the reliability woes of the big teams: Dean Stoneman picks up a fourth place, giving Sauber a back-to-back double points finish; Pascal Wehrlein and James James Davies were rewarded for a thrilling fight by being flushed up the order as well.

Race:

Fastest Lap:

Jules Bianchi – 2:09.999

Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:

Dean Stoneman – his efficient driving shows its value yet again with a key fourth place.

Reject Of The Race:

Marcel Agyemang-Badu – on a day with many retirements, throwing a shot at points away by being overeager in battle is a bad idea.
