It's obvious what Hamilton was trying to say. He just need to understand there is no Bottas anymore. Keep calm.
If it was not for safety cat he would have easily been 3rd or possibly 2nd.
He didn't need bottas, he needed better luck.
George was struggling to keep up with Lewis in the first stint, and in the second stint they were almost equal and Lewis was stuck behind within 1 sec for 10 to 12 laps until the team asked him to back off.
He just needed a bit of luck in the race and last race, it's easy to get frustrated as everyone are humans. I don't see any issue with what Lewis said, however, his haters are just clutching on straw. They expected George to annihilate Lewis, as that not happening this is the only time they can do it.
George is no Bottas, but from the first 3 races he definitely is not Nico Rosberg. Maybe somewhere in between those two.
