Loving the "Bottas slide".
https://streamable.com/erhqq
That my friends is rather more than a flamboyant display of (racing) car control, as it’s far more an exuberant release of accomplishment. 2018 possibly longer, was spent for Bottas in putting his personal potential to one side. Ferrari had their chance at it but bottled it because it barriered Vettel. They should have persevered with Kimi but no, they instantly binned it like children.
Any team would be well endowed with a development and race driver such as Bottas, a man that can alter and ease focus towards true worth.
Ferrari chased childish glory and failed with a misnomered ‘rear wheel steer’ whilst Bottas on the other hand has steered Mercedes through touch, perception and sheer acumen and accurate feedback to six one, two race starts and I’ll bet, as many likewise race finishes. Hat’s off to him!

Watching Lewis with Anthony on Sky Pad and he was explaining the pole lap. Lewis said, he was an incredible 0.39 tenths up on Valtteri's provisional pole time and his mistake at Rascasse cost him around 0.25 tenths and left him with a slender lead for pole.

You mean 2.5 tenths or 25 thousands?

You sure it wasn't 0.390 up on his own previous run. As he said he was a tenth up after Turn 1 , because his first run he said he made a small error at turn 1. hence why he was a tenth up on his second run.

Also out of the last corner he said his delta was coming down from 0.390 , 0.380, 0.370, 0.360.... and that wasn't to Bottas at that stage of the lap. or any part of the lap for that matter

Why did everyone pit? 90% rain possibility during race was the forecast, wasn’t it?

Tyres fell off + safety car is a clear opportunity to use.
