F1

Bottas drives for Mercedes. I can guarantee if Hamilton doesn't get passed on his own and Bottas is asked to move aside he will let Hamilton get past. That will already have been discussed and agreed no matter what is said in public.

F1 has always been a team sport first.

There's always the exception
 
Another race and another win for Hamilton. Passed Vettel fair and square on the track and Mercedes doing the necessary to maximise the gap in the driver's championship.

Was a great pass by Hamilton, showing why many regard him as the much superior driver to Vettel.

In terms of the switch by Merc, I think they ballsed it up in the pit sequence. If Lewis had pitted lap before it would have been same time as Vettel and then his release could have been compromised due to gap. So they didn’t risk it but obviously got it wrong.
 
I fully understand the swap in places between LH and VB, and it makes total sense. At least he wasn’t told to slow up on the finish straight to let him pass.
 
Not a fan of what happened but I can see the reasons why, Mercedes do seem to have a complete team ethic compared to some of the others who are two teams in one. I hope and expect Lewis to wrap the title up and then if there's any remaining races to play wingman to Valterri as payback for his selflessness this season.

Assuming Lewis goes on to wrap up the driver's championship, and after Mercedes have wrapped up the Constructor's title, the 2 drivers will then be free to race each other, but do NOT expect Lewis to hand over any victories just for the sake of it at the end of the season. He's after Schumacher's win record as well as his 7 world titles record so he won't be giving away any wins to Bottas.
 
Well I finally watched the Max Verstappen grand prix last night.
Can someone sack Ben Edwards please.
Either that or tell him that he's there to comment on TV not radio.
He doesn't have to tell us what has just happened, or repeat every radio transmission or tell us AGAIN how brilliant Max is and it's his birthday you know.
Birthday boy in fast car overtakes men in slower cars. Wow. I didn't see him overtake any men in fast cars.
Little mention of his team mate who did the same thing with a broken nose cone.

You really have it in for Verstappen don't you.

His drive on Sunday was excellent and devoid of the silly mistakes that he has sometimes made in the past.

It had as much to do with his racing ability as the performance of his car.
