    Agree with that, it might be after his little trip today. It's probably never really come up before.

    I don't think he is, he is just extremely competitive like the majority of them. He seems like a nice bloke. Take this for example:

    Didn't watch the race but how the hell did Bottas not win with Hamilton out of the running? In a car that is clearly far superior to all the others on the grid he should be ashamed at crossing the finish line 5th.
    Toto Wolf needs to man the **** up and put someone in the other Mercedes who will actually challenge Hamilton otherwise it's just going to be more of the same until the regulation changes in 2022.

    Thats interesting. Look at the problems when they had rosberg and two genuine title contenders. Think Bottas is the stereotyped number two. He will get fed up and leave and finish 8th every race for torro rosso or whatever. Mercedes wont employ a genuine contender for two/three seasons more. Wish Seinz was staying at MacLaren btw they have seriously got their **** together and could be second-placed manufacturers next year

    Bottas fell back in the first lap and the Mercedes is not really designed to follow other cars efficiency hence his poor performance . Years of running at the front have led mercedes to design their car with slightly smaller cooling openings ( brake ducts , radiator pods etc ) for increased speed hence his overheating issues. I do agree with you though , it's time for bottas to move on .

    Hamilton gets a penalty and the Italian grand prix is won by an Italian driver.

    If you think that was intentional mate then you're bonkers.

    Nobody could have orchestrated that outcome. Gasly wasn't even second when Hamilton was hit with that penalty, for starters.

    Conspiracy theories are flawed from the start when the nationality of the driver isn't even right. Fixing it for the future Ferrari driver would have been a better story anyway

    Probably bonkers. I thought Gasly was French but I only caught a snippet on the news and assumed he must be Italian. My cynical nature and associating Italian and corruption then took over.
