It was a big part of it, though. I don't think Toto would want to admit it. Had Hamilton stayed out under the SC I think he'd have stood a much better chance of staying out in front of Vettel. I don't think anyone expected Ferrari to match Mercedes' long-run pace. The Ferrari looks like it's very good on tires, too.
Such a smooth chassis with a really stout engine is going to be a pain in Mercedes' butt this season.
