I was wondering what lap Bottas will let Max through.
Then I realised it's Bottas, so put £5 on Max leading at the end of lap one.
I know Bottas gave max easy passes before, for whatever reason, but I actually think this time will be different if Max doesn’t beat him off the line.
Bottas wasn’t fighting for a win in Russia, Zandvoort, etc. This time he is on pole and can win in theory. He has nothing to lose, plenty to prove, and everything to fight for.
If max gets past easily I expect it will be because Bottas locks up by mistake like in France, or Verstappen just out races him.
If he has a good drive he might fight hard. We have seen him do it before, albeit sporadically.
We might enjoy a great race up front between Bottas, max, and Charles.
