Mexican Sergio Perez, who notably is still without a drive for 2021, has won his first F1 race of his career at the Sakhir Grand Prix, bouncing back from a heartbreaking engine failure from second place just a week ago. Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll joined him on a surprising podium.
Nepotism looks like that.
Bottas will have no excuses here. Russell stopped twice more AND had a puncture and yet only a few seconds separated them.grubschumi13 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2020, 21:04Bottas had bad luck today but before that he got his ass handed to him by Russell. They allowed him to go longer but he did not do a lot with, it. On one lap he got back 3 seconds on Russell after the V safety car. Russell passed him on track, then proceeded to make another 2 overtakes and was chasing down Perez for the win. All very Lewis Hamilton like.
Bottas is gogint to sing the bad luck song no doubt, starting with his start, he will make an excuse, then another excuse for why Russell dropped in to 3 seconds back, and then harp on about his hard tires.
Fact is Bottas has been with Mercedes for 3 years. That is longer than Russell has been in F1. Russel just came into the car and schooled him. For all Hamilton says that Bottas should get more credit than he currently gets. No I am afraid not, Bottas is weak and that Mercedes is so much faster than their rivals that as Max said any F1 driver will win races and instantly be a title contender in that car.
That has nothing to do with Bottas being put the same 17 lap old hard tyres on for the last 20 laps, when Russel was on 2 compound 20 laps fresher tyresRestomaniac wrote: ↑06 Dec 2020, 21:06Bottas will have no excuses here.
