2020 Turkish GP ROTR

Quite a few nominations

Red Bull Drivers- Both could have won the race and yet Verstappen and Albon messed up big time- On Friday it looked certain to be a red bull 1-2. Nope. 6th and 7th.

Racing Point- Pitted Lance Stroll at the wrong moment (they do time it wrong at racing point) costing him a podium. Gutted for Lance.

Haas pit crew- well they didn't fir k-mag's tyre on properly. the end.

Charles LeClerc - made THAT error on the last lap costing him 3rd. He went for the 2nd place and ended up 4th.


But my winner (by a mile)

Valtteri Bottas- lapped by his teammate and spun more time than Kylie did in hotpants. The day from hell for the Finn.

Can't argue with those nominations, especially Stroll for the second half of the race, and Bottas.

Bottas: Maybe his worst race on a Mercedes, and another example of him screwing it when it really mattered. At the start of the season, Bottas career was on a crossroad: becoming a potential Nico Rosberg (and title contender) or settling for Barrichello 2.0. Sadly, he wasted his chance, and it's really unlikely that he ever challenges Hamilton again.

Honorable mention: Racing Point for missing an almost sure podium with Stroll.

For Felipe Massa at Silverstone in, what was it, 2008? Read Valtteri Bottas, Istanbul, 2020.
