It's a team sport but that is some pure BS

 

[Flibster]

Just for that, Perez gets a strong nomination for Driver of the Day.

 

[Psycho Ned]

I actually don't have a problem with that, it's a team sport. Fair play to Checo for hard clean battling.

Merc would do the same if Bottas wasn't as much use as a chocolate teapot.

 

[Kautya]

Had it not been for Sainz, this would have been very close.

 

[Shadowness]

I had no issue with that. That was about the most exciting racing I've seen in F1 for ages!

 

[Jono8]

Frustrating that Lewis chucked his tyre advantage away just to get stuck behind Perez.

 

[UTmaniac]

Perez needs to give Max some racing lessons, pretty clean battle there with Lewis.

This.

Agreed.

 

[Baxter]

That was a great little tussle

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Leave bottas out as long as they can now.

 

[Locky]

Perez was deffo trying to take Lewis out and get away with it..

 

[Stumble Bum]

Bottas is usually just a Torpedo taking out Red Bulls when he's trying to do it.

 

[Mesai]

Some incredible driving from Perez. Say what you want about the ethics of it all, but he's a quality driver.

 

[dandan556]

Fair play Perez.

 

[Scam]

Didn't Perez go off the track down the straight as well?

I thought that. So now we have 30 odd laps of watching the gap? Too stressful

 

[Jono8]

Merc would do the same if Bottas wasn't as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Lol, true. Bottas has been mostly useless as a wingman for Lewis when he has needed it.

 

[muon]

Isn't there a rule on being too slow for a reason?

 

[PikeyPriest]

It's a team sport but that is some pure BS

They are racing for position you know? It was fair driving on track and completely what the sport is about. What did you expect him to do, wave LH past? It was good fair driving and I’m actually surprised Perez managed it on those tyres if I’m honest.

 

[Purdy]

Amazing stuff by Perez.

Incredible that Mercedes pitted Lewis though, would be +10sec if they hadn't.

 

[.:MBK:.]

Perez did his job, did it well, and kept it clean. Fair cop, there are 2 cars in a team for a reason.

How so? Perfectly fair. Remember Lewis backing the pack up purposely slowing down in the hope Nico would be overtaken? Again nothing wrong with it.
