Absolutely bonkers that Mercedes let Bottas race for the lead at this point, if they boxed Max in there they are 1-2.

What exactly did he do? Take out tsunoda
so was it Riccardo or Perez who hit Bottas?
Insane that Bottas tried to cover Lewis rather than Max
I thought he hit Bottas, when I posted .
ricciardo hence why he lost his nose
OK I misunderstood.
Thought Perez said he hit Bottas.
Thought Perez said he hit Bottas.
he doesn’t want lewis to win it’s so obvious.
he could have easily blocked max and let him come up alongside him then swoop around the outside of him
patheticMerc just gift so much to Red Bull, you won’t beat Max from there.
Think the detour he took could still yield him a penalty, commentators mentioned something along those lines
100% correct. Bottas gonna be told to move over if he was leading. Why was he blocking Lewis rather than Max?bottas is such an idiot instead of fighting verstappen he’d rather fight lewis
I thought it was tsunoda who he was tussling with for 3rd, Bottas shit the bed breaking that early and off line
Two things:
Max, wow
Bottas, wtf man?!?!?!
Max, wow
Bottas, wtf man?!?!?!
Totto has to take some blame for that, he should have told Bottas to let Lewis past and try and hold off Max.
Bottas isn’t going to play the team game, he knows he’s off. Shot themselves in the foot AGAIN.
It’s crazy what Bottas did at the start
Lewis without his wing man now, being hounded by the Red Bulls.
To be fair, not sure his wing man is all that helpful
Lewis may as well do a 2 stop, nothing to lose really.
I was saying it ages ago, I would have put Russell instead of Bottas half way this season. He would have actually been a team player for Lewis.
vey true.
Feels like Max’s race comfortably now, unless something drastic happens
Kimi with 2 reprimands today and a speeding fine
Yeah no way Mercedes find a strategy that would prevent a Max win. Him and his car are too dominant on this track
To be fair, what Bottas is told to do and what he decided to do could be two very different things!
It should be Ricciardo wrf manTwo things:
Max, wow
Bottas, wtf man?!?!?!
Easy Max win here. We can see Bottas is not playing team game at all. Christ can't Mercedes mot see it? Perez is playing the team game, he puts up a fight. Merc should have controlled that start, ot beggers belief.
Ricciardo is not the one that closed his teammate and left an open lane for his team's main rival to overtake everyone
also very true.
Define team game. Bottas is outscoring Perez by 35.
Yes that's correct, I thought you meant something else.
I wouldn’t miss this track, ever.
Verstappen already 5s ahead
It's not really that simple is it, given that Perez has had his race nuked to steal the fastest lap from Hamilton before, and for this race had to swap his wing with Max's damaged one.
could Lewis go for the 2 stop and have the newer tyres for the last few laps
Ironic that you're rolling your eyes, considering you posted the same thing almost verbatim yesterday.
He’s too far back for that to be effective now.
Lewis needs to worry more about Perez than Max at the moment
Checo is quite close , the crowd may erupt soon.
