Not sure what to say. But only a three point lead in the championship.

The friendship between Max and Lewis seem to be rekindled.

I hope his fans follow his stead.
Lewis got big cheers during the interview...

Please stop beating this dead non-horse.😒

Ps: the way how Bottas is treated by his team... it's disgusting.
Then you have no idea how F1 works. No idea at all. I guess thats why you have a -8 next to your name.
I know how it works, but Bottas case is a waaay ahead of the limit of awful cases for a long time.
Ps: Do you really think that I care about this "-8"? :D Dont be childish.
Some people think it's some sort of an achievement to collect upvotes with "i scratch you and you scratch me" kind of upvoting to then denigrate others who doesn't. :lol:

VES asking about HAM. "Is he complaining about something, or what?"
That's a fair guess. :)
Max gaslighting not very classy yet expected from him..
Well deserved. Hamilton complaining about something is a meme now🙄
I’d actually like to hear more radio from other drivers but FOM just play Hamilton’s feed constantly.

So you think Mercedes treated Bottas in a discusting way ? Please explain why if so
1. Told to deliberately not go for fastest lap in Zandvoort despite pitting for fresh tyres.
2. Told to deliberately slow down in Singapore so Hamilton would emerge from the pits ahead of him, despite Bottas having the undercut.

I'm sure there are more I cannot remember. :shock:
Team orders are not disgusting, or it only appears to be so by some when its Mercedes doing it. Mercedes want maximum points for Themselves and Lewis at the business end of the season. Id understand if they asked Bottas to slow down and it caused him a place , but it cost Bottas and Mercedes nothing.

No need to remember, please watch next race. Mercedes is quite consistent at that :)

Bottas lost a valuable point for his WDC challenge. If you don't want Bottas to go for fastest lap, don't pit Bottas for soft tyres! It's pretty obvious to everyone else.

Telling a racing driver to deliberately get worse results is just bizarre.

Try hard. "Valtteri, it's James..." it's a F1's phrase of shame forever.

Mercedes was off the ball twice imo, they shouldve put Bottas on softs in the second stint to limit options or allow Hamilton a serious undercut, I thought they had it after bottas pitted. Perhaps vettel ruined that plan?

They stopped because of vibration issues.

No need to argue I guess. Only Merc team order triggers them, but they are happy with what RB does because it helps Lord Max.
We need a miracle. We need only one racing lap.
