Third race into the season and made Bottas give up P2 to Hamilton
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/09/formul ... eam-orders. Hamilton 40 points ahead of Vettel and asked to pull over and give Hamilton the win...
I understand when team orders are needed but do not for one second say that Red Bull are the worst or the most unfair when using them
That third race in 2017 with Bottas? hmm lets seee.. after 2 races, he is 20 points behind Hamilton, and also 20 points behind Vettel in Ferrari. Hamilton and Vettel dead even. Who should they maximise in race 3 then? Good team work and fair decision. Later that season, Hamilton requested position from Bottas to try and overtake the Ferrari ahead, and promised to give the position back if he could not progress. By the end of the race, he gave the position back to Valterri. You think this is unfair and poor judgement from Mercedes?
2018 was another season where Ferrari were giving the title a good go, given you can lose a lot of points from DNF and Valterri was out of realistic contention in that phase of the season, it is a good call. A little unfair to Valterri to lose a win but not unfair to ask him to support the title bid. Bottas was behind Hamilton by 100 points and equally a very large amount behind Vettel.
its fair enough to give drivers an equal opportunity to take command of the team and be backed as the title favourite to build the team's strategy around.
Ferrari are the worst. Still not over that Russia race in 2019. They do more than unfair team orders, they actively sabotage their drivers for the benefit of whoever is the No 1
