The idea seems similar to Rollerball; yes, I know that there is a huge difference in the plotlines but the psychology is similar. Controlled licenced violence to let off steam.

Vettel summed it up nicely after the race. He said "We were not driving to the pace of the car, we were driving to the pace of the tyres". Ridiculous.

Ferrari won because on this track their set-up suited the tyres better than anyone else. They just got the maths right and it could easily be a completely different story on another track.
