Bottas proved Toto was right in calling him LH's wingman as he backed Kimi up perfectly to provide LH the win.


He also proved that:
1) Mercedes does employ team orders (regardless of what they call them...)
2) Hamilton needs a teammate, like everyone else...

I went for Hamilton, did what he had to do, even if he had his wingman helping out, although, I am willing to bet that Hamilton was fast enough to pass Raikkonen by the end of the race without his wingman. I can't give it to Vettel, he compromised himself, trying to win it at T1, he was not racing his teammate, his aggression at T1 against Raikkonen left him a sitting duck as his exit was compromised coming out of T1/2 in the run down to T4/5.

My vote to Raikkonen for a perfectly gritty drive and somehow getting to the end of the race on these to take his 100th podium:

Kimi must be a magician getting those tires on the podium.

Pretty certain it was Hamilton's aggression to pass both Kimi and Vettel in one fell swoop that sent Vettel spinning...
But, again, that's just my perspective, as I'm sure Hamilton fans will say that he's just being what he is ... a true racer...

For the record, I obviously did attribute some of the blame to Vettel, as I didn't vote for him either;
but, that incident showed that there needs to be respect amongst drivers, team mate or not...
