True. But you've already seen Hamilton pit so surely it wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility that Bottas would have to as well. I mean, he pitted first out of the three of them so had the oldest tyres from that point of view.

Alonso and Stroll summoned to the Stewards
Ricciardo in good spirits... or maybe been at the good spirits....
Bottas was apparently the only person overtaken at Turn 10. And it was by his teammate and without DRS.
Oops.

They seem to have better starts and are closer in qualifying? Race pace needs work though... It could get even worse for RB as Mercedes get on top of their pre season issues from the mini rule changes for this year.

Oops? He moved out of the way. Belatedly.
He's a vote meme now, all sorts of social media 'campaigns' to vote for him each week now.
Supposedly that's why the announcement was delayed last race - Mazepin actually won the vote
He just said on Sky that he didn't let Lewis through at the earliest opportunity. He was focussed on his own race.
"I'm not here to let people by, I'm here to race"

"Supposedly" in this case meaning "it didn't happen that". Literally made up whole cloth by the same tiresome weanies that vote for him.
Mercedes have enough of advantage as it is...... This is like kicking a dead horse now.

That was pretty dull for the most part. If RB pitted Max following Lewis, we'd have watched a good fight to the end. He showed at the start that they'd keep pace when ahead, which he would have been.*

Listen to what he said in the post-race press conference.

He screws his own race early on, then he’s so bitter he hurts both his own race even further and that of his teammate who has the chance of the win. Kicking him out by the end of the season is back on the table I reckon. Such a waste of a seat.
