    Would think it was Bottas who should have backed off

    I'd like to see that incident from the front but Kimi should have given more space

    Kimi knew he was right there. Bottas was right to fight for it. It wasn't like he lunged out of nowhere either.

    I'm surprised there isn't more overtaking on the main straight.
    Could it be related to the altitude? I know the turbochargers are supposed to make the altitude irrelevant, but it's over 7,000ft above sea level after all.

    He was still behind though, I know Bottas had no where to go but such a tight corner not sure Kimi could have given much room anyway

    Good to see Bottas race not ruined by it anyway

    Yeah and the last few corners don't allow the cars to get close enough to those in front maybe.

    If he was half a car behind I'd agree but he was only a foot or 2 behind. I think it was a bit naïve of Kimi not to expect Bottas to be there. Wonder if there's a bit of history between them.

    Radio messages that Hams first set of tyres were down to 0% confirm that Rosberg did do the sensible thing with the first set of tyres and leave it as long as possible so there could be no hammer time

    Hamilton's responded by setting the fastest lap twice. More rubber means more racing?

    Go Bottas. Red Bulls sitting ducks without DRS on the straights.
