Belgian GP 2019: 5 Talking Points from the race

#2 Superb team play from Vettel

F1 Grand Prix of Belgium, Vettel's last race win came here in 2018

While the man of the moment clearly is Charles Leclerc, someone who finally raised the victory flag for the sport's most popular outfit, it could be said, in Sebastian Vettel, one saw the silent hero of the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix.

On Lap 27, it wasn't Leclerc but his more experienced Ferrari teammate Vettel, who was in the lead of the race. He was being trailed by the Monegasque driver who, in turn, was being followed closely by Hamilton in his attacking Mercedes.

But in what proved to be perfect evidence of great team-play, Vettel gave up his place and allowed Leclerc to dominate the proceedings for the remainder of the contest.

Still, was it going to be any easy with Leclerc having to lead 17 more laps with Hamilton in hot pursuit of his Ferrari?

Sebastian Vettel, who's yet to win a Grand Prix, coming really close to winning one at Montreal in a controversy-plagued race, may have easily gone on to win the contest had it not been for his turning up as a perfect team-man for his younger rising Ferrari partner. He would finish with a respectable fourth in the end.
