This time round, Hamilton and Bottas are full of praise — so far — for each other’s driving. “Today he was very fair in giving me space and after that he was faultless, so he truly deserved the win,” Hamilton said of the man who leads him in the standings by one point. If anything, Hamilton added, he was “too friendly” to Bottas at turn one — a far cry from the collisions and recriminations of 2016. I was uncomfortable, inconsistent, I couldn’t get a feel for the car,” Vettel said of his early stint on soft tires. Bottas, Hamilton and Vettel reeled him in before all three passed him into turn one on successive laps.
