The irony of the focus on Hamilton - inevitable as it might have been - is that the key to the driver market this summer is actually Vettel.
He is the one out of contract at the end of the year - along with his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen and Bottas.
Vettel is highly likely to stay at Ferrari. And if he stays there, as one insider put it, "would Lewis go there, and would they fork out $80m?" The same point, of course, applies to the likelihood of Vettel going to Mercedes.
The only chance of that - or indeed of Fernando Alonso finding a place at one of the two top teams - is if Hamilton retires at the end of the year.
