Douglas Roberts49 said:Bottas needs to shut Max down

That’s exactly how it’s going to go... mark my words... 🤦

It looks like things are about to get pretty shaky for the Bottas legend.

It’s now or never—honestly? I wouldn't even call him in for a pit stop. 😁
The moment he shows even a hint of hesitation, it's straight to the pits.

His tires are absolutely shot.

Well, obviously... it’s common sense to pit when the rubber is gone.
But what about the second driver?--is anyone actually looking at him?

How the little guy actually moved out of the way

At least he provided some minor assistance—though frankly, there was significant room for improvement—now just get back to the pits

Does teamwork even matter to this crew?

That Bottas-esque contract for next year...

How could Valtteri have avoided crashing into Max?

🤣

Jason Campbell70 said:Keep in mind, Mercedes-Benz has two drivers sitting in the Top 3, giving them the luxury of running split strategies.
On a track like this, pulling off a block should be pretty straightforward. Even for Valtteri Bottas.

I see. 😁

Oh, come on, Valtteri, you didn't even put up a fight.

Hah, not everyone can be Fernando Alonso.

Go ask Nico Rosberg, Fernando Alonso, or whoever else fits the bill.

The guy is a total wildcard. A complete loose cannon. It’s basically a done deal that he’s leaving Mercedes at the end of the season, so he might as well show some backbone. He should just tell them to get lost on the track.

Check this guy out, thinking he's so incredibly lucky 🤣

The rest of them just exist to serve that purpose
I’ve always been in favor of a single driver per team
What, do you think people play football or any other sport purely for themselves?

You mean like announcing he’s leaving, only to stubbornly insist on staying?

Let’s be honest: that was exactly the strategy Cro Cop relied on for years. 🤣

And every single time, he just kept making a bigger fool of himself. 😁

Is this really what we're doing—is this actually as dull as a Sunday afternoon in the Midwest?

Sebastian Vettel just has to get his quota of spins out of the way
