Bottas Out???
Willy:
Philbe, In Falmouth? Small world.
John S:
Think VB knows his only hope of a Merc seat next term is if Lewis retires as George will surely be in the Merc next term come what may.
A question to consider in defence of Bottas is how much info other drivers have of either team mate strategies or the general overall race picture whilst hurtling round lap after lap. Surely a driver with his team mate behind him on the road cannot be expected to jump out of the way because the team says so; was Bottas fully aware of what the team were attempting.
We all feel that radio calls like the infamous 'Fernando is faster than you' is wrong so did Valtteri have the full picture? :DntKnw:
Monty:
It is hard to remember sometimes but F1 is a team sport and the team should come first. In fairness to Mercedes they have almost always treated both drivers equally (even in the Rosberg years). However, in this latest example the team were planning a very risky strategy and Hamilton & Bottas were on completely different strategies. VB certainly knew that and this should have been enough for him to understand that he did need to 'jump out of the way'.
If Mercedes give him the 'push' at the end of the season I think it will be more because of his recent attitude than his lack of performance.
Dare:
Maybe that's the reason I haven't watched a race this year. Not
allowing a driver to race is so fun to watch.
Andy B:
This used to happen with Schumacher all the time look at the podium fiasco with Barrichello it's said that if MS was your team mate it was written into your contract that you were in a supporting roll.
