The one bit of luck Merc had was that there were no safety cars. A bunched restart might have seen Hamilton engulfed by the pack (and of course wiped out any advantage gained by keeping the intermediates alive).
Sainz is great isn't he? Just needs more luck!

When Bottas tangled with Ocon at Turn 9, on the opening lap, the damage made it difficult to drive due the alignment of his steering wheel.
