Or be out of the points and not put in a fastest lap.
It's not going to happen for Bottas.
Yep, short of Lewis getting COVID the championship is realistically over. It's not going to happen for Bottas.
Second place is still theoretically very much up for grabs, and that’s the one that I need Bottas to get sewn up. (Had a little bet at the start of the season)

Bottas would have to take maximum points across each race, which in a world with Max in it is unlikely. Max would almost always be far enough in front of the pack to pit and take the fastest lap point for example..
Lewis has this sewn up tighter than a ducks butt. Just have to wait for Bottas 4.0 next year

Bottas needs to concentrate very hard on securing the P2 position. To be driving what is by far the best car on the grid & yet still not even come second in the WDC for a second time would really start to raise questions about why he's got the drive.Second place is still theoretically very much up for grabs, and that’s the one that I need Bottas to get sewn up.

At Merc HQ I think they'd still consider him the most perfect driver imaginable for that car! Until the end of next season that is, at which point he misght be seen as rather less critical.

I know it’s fashionable to criticise Bottas, but he’s a damn sight closer to his team mate than either Vettel or Albon have been all season. He’s done a great job for the team, in securing that historic seventh title with a third of the season still to go!

Red flagged already! What a crock.
Tracks not gonna improve if you don't let anyone use it
How many times is that this season, that they’ve not had the track ready for the start of a session? Tracks not gonna improve if you don't let anyone use it
Edit: to be fair, having seen a replay it appears that Mr Leclerc had something to do with it, taking out the pit entry cone and leaving exposed studs close to the racing line.

But yes, he only ran over it as the tracks crazy slippy and could be described as 'not ready'!
Looks like it might be just about rubbered in by quali.

I really, really hope this track doesn't rubber in too much.
Or is that being a bit evil?
But catch 22 at the moment. They can't drive hard enough to get the rubber down to improve it very quickly..Or is that being a bit evil?
It'll definitely get better but I'm not sure we'll see necks snapping through turn 8 today!
