Can’t expect much in terms of context from these lot but here’s what really happened: Bottas clearly had some kind of issue in the 1st stint (was doing high 38s on the Hards when others were in the high 37s). I’d suspect due to Hard tyres + high fuel + cold = massive graining which is what we saw. Perez’s medium stint was in the mid-high 37s around half a second quicker than the Astons behind both on Mediums. Bottas’ medium stint was lapping in the mid-high 36s whereas the Astons in the low 37s both on Mediums. Applying fuel-correction (0.03s) once again confirms Bottas and Perez being equal on the Mediums. On the Hards however, Bottas was 2-3s slower than anyone else which is clearly not representative pace. 1 week ago, Bottas finished 20s ahead and outqualified Checo by 1.5s but nothing was said. Focusing on drivers in the slowest car for a team who aren’t at the level of any other is a new level of cope and damage control. Using unrepresentative laps 2-3s off the pace just to push a silly agenda about Hamilton is an all-time low



🚨TYRE DEG IN SUZUKA RACE Of the front runners, Charles Leclerc was the one that had the best tyre wear in the second stint (Hard Tyre) Leclerc: 0.0266 (seconds lost per lap) Russell: 0.0326 Piastri: 0.0389 Norris: 0.0433 Verstappen: 0.0530 Antonelli: 0.0575 Gasly: 0.0633 I read that Hamilton had battery issues, which would affect a representative calculation. The value for him is 0.0856
