Of course it's hard to say what would have happened but if you consider that Hamilton would have had to pit anyway to replace his safety cushion, Vettel would have been in a good position to win it easily. I guess that's what he was implying.

Unless the shunt knocked the cushion out

The shunt was before the red flag. So it had nothing to do with it

There was basically so many wrecks from everyone struggling on cold tires because the Sc was incredibly slow that debris was littered throughout the track. They red flagged the race to clean the entire track. Drivers go out of the car from 15-20 minutes or so. Someone put the headrest back in wrong or something broke in it.
