Toto treats Bottas as a second class citizen even when he is running P2. Bottas should write a book on how to control ego and anger - I’d purchase it.
Have you seen the wheel nuts on the Mercs, not hexagon sided or anything but a cone shaped nut with just two ear type projections from it where the gun slots in them. It's these ears that were grinded away completely and it will only be removed back at Brackley by drilling.
