Apparently, Bottas reported steering damage to his car from a first lap incident (with Ricciardo, I believe). Might be a weakness of DAS that there is more to go wrong in an incident like that. This was not the race to have steering problems in!
Albon did well, but not well enough. Had Perez not done so brilliant a job, it might have been sufficient.
Hamilton is the master of tire management. And a great driver in dry and wet.
Alfa needs to fire their pit crews. Repeated 9+ second stop times are not acceptable, and they have been pulling that crap all season!
