Hamilton didn't look too happy on the podium. Was he truly feeling sorry for Bottas? He is definitely is feeling the pressure from Ferrari and Bottas. The whole race he was voicing issues with the car. He didn't have it altogether during practise nor qualifying. It was evident in the race that he wasn't on top of things. So yeah, I can read pressure all over his face because he has his work cut out for him.

I think he is now coming to the realisation that Bottas has his measure at this point.

I read Bottas is now asking for a quick short term contract prior to the summer break so he can focus on racing. I guess having Ocon in the Merc garage is not a pleasant thing for him.

Having Ocon in the garage certainly seems to have put the blow torch to Bottas' butt and got him to perform, if I was Toto I would be quite happy with the present "motivational" set up, but then if I was Toto he would not be in the Mercedes seat after last year!

Based on when Ocon was doing the gridwalk with Brundle there was the assumption during a couple of conversations that Ocon would be in the Merc seat next year. Ocon even chose Hamilton to win the race which he did lol. Ocon is Hamilton"s number one cheerleader.

Bottas just needs to beat Lewis more and when he can't, be as close as possible to him

So there are numerous articles out there saying Mercedes is concerned that they do not want another intra team rivalry similar to what happened with Rosberg.
I personally do not see this as happening. Bottas has too much class to getting into any games. It is evident both drivers have alot of respect for each other on and off the track. I think things will continue to be harmonious. Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk |

Unless Bottas keeps winning. Hamilton is already starting to make errors.

If Bottas continues to preform to this level then he's going to get involved with the games whether he likes it or not, because they will come to him. It's part of fighting for the title, especially with your team mate. |

Well Nico wasn’t quite at Lewis level and had to use other means to beat him. But he didn’t have the mental capacity to go on
Bottas will find a way, he has the power to out psyche Lewis, as well as beat him more often |

I agree with Akrapovic, for once! And Bottas has categorically stated at the start of the year to be up for it. I'm looking forward to see if he can keep up the challenge.

I think we can take that as read, to be honest.

Tbh I think next season Bottas will definitely be ready to win the title. This season he is getting back to his best

Well he’s matching Hamilton atm, so we’ll see if he can outgun him over a season

He needs to win more than one race in a row before title talk can start imo.
