Did Croft really just say well done Bottas for supreme car control and for not letting that get out of hand?

Yep. I’m not sure the stewards will take the same view.

Bottas spinning it coming out of his garage. Absolutely brilliant. What was Toto saying about making the pits safer again? Gimps.

can't fault Bottas for that. He did as good a job as any passenger could do in that situation

I thought it was nice of Merc to let Mazepin have a go in their car.........

I like the McLaren mechanic who basicly just points and chuckles to himself

Expecting great things from Max this weekend. This is normally Redbulls track.

This is literally Red Bull's track.

He did win once, but merc do usually dominate. I had a check because I thought the same thing, but its been a merc track predominantly.

The irony is that RB's home track actually doesn't really suit them very well. Lucky for them that they get to race here twice then..

Max won in 2018 and 2019, and retired from p2 last year.

It's like he wants to be replaced at Silverstone

I think he has got a 3 place Grid Penalty along with 2 points on his license. That will screw up the Merc strategy before Quali has even begun!

Yup he has.

He was probably expecting to drop those places in the race anyway.. seems to be his usual Sunday result this year!

Touch harsh! But I think we can be confident that he won't make any places up during the race.

Yup. Three place drop for dangerous driving.

Seems fair given the potential outcomes.

Sorry, I was referring to the comment that Bottas would lose three places anyway.
