I don't follow the sport but heard on the radio that Hamilton won the GP as his team told Bottas to move aside?
Doesn't seem right to me and I would certainly have been pissed off if I had put on a bet!
Got me thinking, what sports are out there that have this degree of power which can alter outcomes of games? Clearly most can 'influence' the end at some point i.e. Starting the game late (bless Jimmy) or playing to a draw but not many can pick the winner??
Cycling is probably one that could do this i.e. the GC rider takes preference to all of the other riders so is this the same in F1? I think the only difference is that the cycling team have their roles to ensure this happens where as F1 is two racers going for the win?
Seems weird, clearly been going on for years however!
