They can blame Bottas all they want but he did nothing wrong.
They thought he had gone due to the green light I think.

Also Bottas didn’t have to weave as much really, it was always going to bunch them up.

Honda to leave F1 after 2021

So that's a major setback for Red Bull. They either go cap in hand to Renault, or find an alternative. Can't see the FIA letting them go to Mercedes, who wants a Ferrari engine, and they probably couldn't do it on their own.

Can't see max sticking around either for another "Project".

Incredible achievement by Lewis yesterday

Yeah, and much like Shcumacher I think it is one of those achievements a lot of people will only begin to appreciate when they start looking back at this era with rose tinted glasses.

Yes. The thing that tells you how special this truly is, is the comparison to other drivers wins. Drivers like Alonso, Senna, Prost

Congratulations to Hamilton.

People often criticise F1 drivers saying it’s the car that wins races not the driver. But can you imagine what it must take to drive those cars at their full potential, right up to the limit, in all conditions, against the fiercest competition, race after race?

92 wins is an incredible achievement.

He just beat his team mate who is a high quality driver but over 25 seconds!

On a less ****y, more positive note...Hamilton is just fantastic isn’t he. I know he’s often had a great car, but he’s won most of his races outright. Tenacious driver.
