Mind games.
I’ve no doubt that the message to the team about his front left being poor was a calculation knowing full well the team would feel compelled to tell Bottas.
They are usually a lap or two behind- but don’t forget whoever is producing the broadcast has to sift through all the messages, pick any ‘interesting’ ones then locate the recording and edit/prepare it for broadcast. That stuff does take time- at least a couple of minutes- to do.jz11 wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020, 15:54I lost the belief in the FOM on those messages, they seem to be delayed for unknown number of laps at times, especially with Hamiltons tire messages, they just completely don't match what is going on on the track, and it is sort of kindergarten level of "strategy" trying to confuse someone if they aren't delayed, either way - might as well not release it at all
