There is no reason Bottas should ever end up behind Max. He has the superior car and sufficient skills.

You must be joking. It wouldn't surprise me if Max is ahead of Bottas by lap 1. Maybe even turn 1. And once Max is ahead Bottas will never catch him.

Frankly, we'll be disappointed if Alonso doesn't hold Hamy up. Top that with the fact that the last few starts Hamilton had were really bad, and tomorrow could be an entertaining race.

Unless of course Bottas has already been ordered to take Verstappen out.

The other thing is, where has Leclerc found all that pace?

As much as i'd love t see it it's not Fred's job to hold Lulu back, his race is with Chuck, Gasly and Lando. Besides letting lulu go opens up the potential of him and Max taking each other out again.
