Because he wanted to top FP2 snd that is where points are available. Simple. It has nothing to do with him being good on this track.
Indeed. It seems some are incapable of impartiality.
James Allison confirmed Bottas lost the time on the straight. I wish he would stop being so impartial.
8/10ths on 1 straight? Was he driving in reverse?

Valtteri was a little bit less fortunate than Lewis and didn’t get the nice favourable tow that Lewis did on his fast lap, but he looked swift enough on the long runs.
Where does it translate to different engine modes?

That's my assumption, I can't see Bottas losing 5 tenths in basically 2 or 3 corners.

Practice means nothing anyway, it will be much closer come qualifying IMO.

So no actual facts then. Just your ‘impartial’ assumption. :wtf:

Well him getting a good tow was a fact, it looks like it gave him more time than Davidson and Chandhok estimated.

5 to 8/10ths? Yep that’s the normal amount :lol:

I’ll tell ya what I’ll give you 4/10ths. Care to find the other 4/10ths?

No but it looks like it was at least 3 tenths. You're getting a little emotional I see, I hope that's nothing to do with Lewis struggling to get anywhere near Bottas with the 2020 tyres. 😂😉

It's practice, like I said it will be much closer come qualifying unless Hamilton does a monster lap or Bottas makes a mistake. They are as close as you can get on a Saturday.

Oh so Hamilton was only half a second faster then. :lol:

No emotion here but I have lost count. Is this Bottas 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0? :lol:

No just repeating facts what happend in practice. Hamilton couldn't match Bottas running the test tyres from what I recall. If you have information that proves me wrong then I'm happy to be corrected?

Come on do keep up. You can tell what’s going to happen next year by a random tyre test from the year before :lol:

It's practice pal, I will be very surprised if Lewis has that gap come qualifying. You don't agree that they're neck and neck this year in qualifying?
