Don't move the goalposts, you're better than that. I was responding to your assertion "And he still has more rain wins than VER has wins, period." That's got nothing to do with preseason testing this year.

Nice to know even without Max in the conversation we devolve to this petty back and forth garbage.

Ah. If that is what you are responding to then the fact is the fact. Sir Lewis has more rain wins than VER has wins, overall. Look them up.

As for Lewis, I'm not in that crew, so don't expect BS to have any effect on my ability to make my own decision. Only thing I've ever said against him is that we can't say which driver is definitely faster unless they are all driving the same car. People are just haters.

Fantastic drive by Max.
Yes, Lewis was very lucky he made his mistake right before the red flag. Yes, he did make a fantastic recovery. Max was the better driver for sure this race.

Russell apologises.
IMO the best thing he could do to move forward.

Russell's apology has a close connection with Toto's reaction..

I agree. My take on it was Bottas moved to the right.
But such is reality sometimes. Totto's interest is Mercedes right now, not Russell, as much as he is a very viable candidate to replace Bottas.

Racing incident but more RUS than BOT as there is ample racing room left to RUS. BOT had his right tire slightly over the white line splitting the track. RUS had plenty of room. Red mist and eagerness mistake.

This was literally a situation of: Let the race come to you.

Numerous overtakes attempted and made cleanly on the end of the main straight during the race wherein the driver being passed on the inside kept their line. In any case, the Williams had no business overtaking the Mercedes but that's what happens when you have Russell and Bottas as the drivers. In any case, Bottas clearly underperformed in this race.

as i ve said earlier.. i believe that incidents blame is more on Russell.. there was room for him but wet patches and parts wasnt in Russell snap decisions.. its part of racing though..

Here is the video. Go to the 20th second and you can see that there is ample room for RUS and that BOT is sighting the next turn. I don't have a dog in this fight...I think it was a racing incident caused by youth, inexperience and a little red mist. Once his right rear is on the grass at that velocity, it all ends in tears as we all plainly saw.

A tough situation for sure. On a dry track, Russel had room. On a wet track with only one real line, its more difficult to say. I think "Racing Incident" is the best way to write this one down in the history books.
