If Ferrari slips more, Max and RBR is breathing down their neck.

At least the good thing about this season is Bottas is extremely strong and matching Hamilton's pace. Feels more tight than Rosberg back in 2016.
Hamilton didn't race Bottas hard, at all. He stated so himself. He had 2 or 3 opportunities to run Bottas wide in the initial laps and didn't do so. This was a coast in for the 1-2 and keep harmony in the team. I expect as the season enters Europe, normal service will resume and we will see Lewi5 begin to separate himself from Bottas in telling fashion.

I don't know if anyone has noticed in all of the argy-bargy about Ferrari but this is the best start to a Formula One season Lewis has had in my memory and possibly ever. I will check Forix to see if true. If so, this could be truly ominous.
