Interesting how they cannot catch Verstappen. A shame he still has to pit :/

By my calculation Vettel has to win every race to be in with a shot at the title now, so unless Hamilton gets a DNF vettel's challenge is effectively over now.

Hamilton should've given back the position regardless of orders. Just please don't pull a Schumacher and let Bottas stand on top of the podium...

I bet bottas gets a couple of million in his christmas stocking for that sacrifice.

Great for them but it sucks for fans. Kills the mood at the end of the race.
Exactly this, and I'm a Hamilton fan. It falls flat everytime. If we were talking a handful of points between Hamilton and Vettel, I'd say fair game, but nah.... not good for fans, racing or Bottas.

I can't think of anybody that is 100% happy with this. And what if Hamilton ends up winning the championship by 6 points? Just won't be right.

Serves no purpose. They could've had a 1-2 by swapping at the last corner.

But then this their job and they get paid a **** ton for it do the sympathy also only goes so far.
