Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet! Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. Went with a 7, also; however, I disagree (hopefully) that it's business as usual at the front.
There was the "little" influence of the Virtual Safety Car,
which I (hopefully) believe denied us a real battle up there!

I don't think that the Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car changed the end result of the race, Mercedes clearly had performance in hand over Ferrari, Vettel pumped in the fastest lap, which woke up Hamilton and he broke that lap record the very next lap, I believe Hamilton was cruising much like he did in 2016.

TBD down the road.

It was actually the real safety car two laps later that destroyed SV's gamble and race.

Semantics... they end up doing the same thing, no?

No.
During a Virtual SC, the cars are given a target time for each marshaling sector (usually around 30 in a circuit) and they need to stay above that time (slower) for each of that sector. In this way ideally all cars must run at same speed and same lap times and the gaps between the cars on track remains frozen.
Whereas in an actual safety car scenario, all the cars are stacked behind the safety car and the gap they had to the car in front and behind is erased.
