Albon may dispute that!

Albon has no room to talk given how shit he has been. Lewis was probably startled that the safety car gave Albon the chance to close up half a minute and put better tyres on as it's the only way he can get close to the top drivers level.

Xan't see how anyone could argue they weren't both justified?

Biggest question for me is why Mercedes didn't pit Lewis at the start of the last lap, just irresponsible really

It was criminal given the data Mercedes will have had from both the cars. It was a free pitstop as soon as Verstappen pitted.

I thought this, given the times Bottas and Hamilton were ahead by, it would have been a free stop.

Also, both Mercs seemed to be competing aggressively throughout the whole race (when there wasn't a safety car) despite their lead on the rest of the cars. There could have been better management of the drivers to conserve tyres. Tough call to ask drivers to calm it down but it would have maybe allowed Bottas to retain 2nd in the race.

That is what happens.

"The general rules of British tax law provide for the taxation of foreign athletes on their income arising in connection with the performance in the UK, which includes appearance fees, awards, and part of endorsement payments, considered to be earned during their stay in the UK."

For the tax boffins

I am hoping it can't be as easy as this.

Could a person have a clause in their contract that states that their wages when on UK soil be no more than minimum wage?

I know this wouldn't work with tennis/golf where the prize money is wages. But could work if allowed with team sports where they travel the world on a salaried contract?

not sure why they'd need the clause?

Pirelli taking the piss with even softer tyres this week.

I can’t see many finishing the race with the mix of super soft and boiling track temperatures.
