The way the highlights were narrated, seemed that way. Believe Bottas was being used for a tow as well for Hamilton.

I've been watching Nico's channel on and off. At first I kinda didn't like that it seemed like he's just milking his brand, but his open commentary about Lewis and general F1 thinking has been fascinating.


Every season is different and the subject of risk assessment does make me question if Mercedes is going to take these street rounds lightly counting on RB to possibly screw themselves. With Lewis having so much race time under his belt, I'm sure these decisions weigh more on him even for just his own well being.

I'm generally not big on street circuits like this. It seems fitting as a trials course or something, but I can see why a driver would hate it.
