Just a friendly and humorous gesture here for sure, in my time anyway (before the snowflakes made their presence) but in Ocon's case well deserved and a warning for a pest as I saw it.He looked like he stumbled over something when he went backwards??

In fact this is a fundamental skill from Max. Top tyre management makes all the difference.
IMO, Max is the best in this respect since Alain Prost.

Knowing MAX when the car runs like it should be ?

This season isn't over yet !

Merc have had success with das working under THEIR terms and conditions. Catalunya coming up has one long straight and a variety of turns but without the long high speed curves of Silverstone that caused havoc with their 11's tyres.It'll be more of a challenge but hopefully high track temps will again curtail the das advantage somewhat and hopefully Alb will come into the picture also.

Mate .MAX was actually too kind. I would slam Ocon on his rabbit teeth !

Max lost that victory by that piece of dirty 5H1T, Ocon did it intentionally !

Yes O's baby face is no excuse for ruining what would have been Max's 10th victory up to now from then and with his add to insult s******ing I would have put his head in a fire water bucket

Max's reaction like where is my trophy and Lewis' realization is funny..

[FormulaMMM]

Trying to recall any race -- when has a split Merc strategy ever worked out in Bottas's favor?

i dont recall as well but it doesnt mean it didnt work for him in some race.. but one way or another yes Bottas is tying to beat Hamilton but no one is getting mad at him except himself or people around him if he cant.. cause he is #2 driver that tries to be champ in the end.. there was a talk like this during the race comparing him with Barrichello.. as long as he doesnt crack under pressure which he did few times or demotivates himself easily he can still fight for it..

Never. The one that really sucked for bottas was British GP 2019.

i honestly dont think that Merc' sabotaged Bottas' race.. they call him in at the same time when Max comes in when Max was leading to keep things even and not getting an undercut.. Merc's were already slow waiting few more laps probably wouldnt work as well.. actually for Lewis they called him late in my opinion cause he wont able to finish the race with those tires as well clearly they tried if Max has more pace or not.. why not giving him more laps in the end to catch up there wasnt much traffic behind Leclerc.. maybe because of the fuel though since there were no SC in the race..

You Sir . You won the Internet today !

In the second stint Toto called BOT in , while his tires were still good to run at least 5 more laps ..
By this HAM ran to P2 !

Actually I can't write regarding from what I think ....To keep my statement clean , let me say the situation was "SCANDALOUS" !
