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.
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.
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.
