There was massive drama as the heavens opened and several drivers were caught out. The first high-profile casualty was Daniel Ricciardo with a mechanical issue. But he had retired way earlier. So the talk of the town was Sebastian Vettel who crashed out of the lead. As a result, Lewis Hamilton inherited the lead of the race and championship. Here is how Twitter reacted.

First wet weather race Vettel leads he puts it in the wall. How many in a row did Hamilton win? There's no question at all who you want in the car in these conditions

Vettel had fresher tyres and Kimi had to pit anyway. He was on two-stop strategy
Bottas had fresher tyres, clearly faster and was told to stay behind HamiltonNotice the difference https://t.co/uo3LSVuK37

Using the app on iOS. Got better during the race. Except for that Vettel incident… 😥

Ferrari will kick themselves over their slow decision-making regarding Raikkonen and Vettel. @MercedesAMGF1, they won't care a jot #GermanGP

Vettel ran alone and lost

@Ferrari paid for their sins! Victory is earned, not favoured. Vettel should have raced Kimit to victory! #GermanGP

After taunting @LewisHamilton and British sport after winning at silverstone, Vettel should have known that in sport Karma is just around the corner#GermanGP🏁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏎

Everything would be ok if Vettel didnt crash tho 😀 😀 Fanboyzzzzz

One thing from today, Mercedes can not say anything about Ferrari using Raikkonen to help Vettel, got to love the hypocrisy
— Thomas Knights (@tomknights1) July 22, 2018
Y'all would crucify Hamilton as smug and arrogant if he said what Vettel said at silverstone. Suck it, Ferrari! 🖕#GermanGP
— Alex Diaconu (@AlexTC1_J) July 22, 2018
merc with a perfect strategy too tbh, read the weather flawlessly and called for a pit stop at exactly the right time to discount it. like he lost 1 place and 0 seconds to vettel after about 10 laps on the ultras or something silly
— allyn, probably (@allynhii) July 22, 2018
Well championship is over, now Lewis Will have more than vettel, good I didn't pay for the streaming pass
