I can only ask, has Lewis been down to the crossroads and done a deal with the devil? Off track and and last? only for a red flag to come out due to an accident that removed fast runners which allowed him to catch the field and eventually finish second, even when fate conspires against him luck turns up to help him along.
Unless Bottas crashed under team orders to help Lewis
Didnt even cross my mind 😁 this is the rumor I will stick to!
Mazepin
The Swedish commentators kept saying his name is Mazespin
Stroll and Kimi were penalized, so these are the official race results
Wonder how far Hamilton would have got if he hadn't been gifted a closed up field by the big crash? Probably still second I'm guessing, that Merc was insanely fast whenever he came up behind anyone. Can't quite understand why it was a roling start though, I thought we were supposed to get a grid start after a red flag?
Not second, he lost too much time in the gravel, top 10 at best.
Interesting incident between Bottas and Russell. Bottas defending position and veering right while it looks like leaving enough space for Russell to pass. I assume Russell believed Bottas was coming further to the right so he went over the wet white line at full throttle, causing his spin. Russell was certainly faster, the pass was inevitable. You could ask why Bottas needed to veer to the right in the first place, making it more dangerous to pass, certainly in wet conditions. The maneuvre might not have been sudden, breaking the code, but it was sneaky and totally pointless.
Doesn't really help, Stroll still in the points unfortunately. Lets hope for DNF next time.
I’m siding on Bottas on this one. Russell was obviously faster but he could’ve picked a better area to overtake. On both driver’s camera you could see Russell squeezed himself in that narrow straight. Don’t expect Bottas looking at his side mirrors just for you to pass. 😵💫
