I've made a huge mistake.

That's some powerful revisionism. What strain are you experimenting with?
It's not revisionism. Honda really would not listen to anyone outside of Honda and their inexperience-in-F1 engineers made a hash of it for far too long. For example, putting far too much faith in simulations and single-cylinder engines and taking too long to start pounding an actual engine on the dynos.

I'm not saying Honda is blameless. I'm saying they're not at all to blame. If anything I'd say it was 50/50 for the blame. It was two initially dumb as hell people getting together, one got their life together and moved on, and the other now peddles coke at half the going rate.

edit: not ALL to blame.

Lewis had floor damage. Bottas loving sucks and he would have lost easily if Lewis wasn't managing a broken car.

If this is true (the floor damage) then it's going to be a boring season at the front and the battle will be for 2nd place.

All it means is Bottas will win by 10 seconds instead of 20.

Of course he did. It's always not Lewis' fault when he doesn't win.

Yeah Lewis had a broken floor the exact moment when Punished Bottas had a better start and straight passed him. gently caress off Toto bring Niki back

Lewis clearly lost enough pace he was never going to take the lead. At that point it was more important to pace his tyres to make sure Max late-stopping didn't see him pass him at the end. The gap to first is an irrelevant number.
I don't understand why, three years in, F1 journalists don't understand tyre management is half this formula and Merc's Achilles heel when pushed on it.

I wonder if Bottas used up his "one random race where he has an absolutely amazing launch off the line" quota for the year though.

I remember him bottling up a lot of starts last year so yea that’s about it for him. He also turns into a puddle of poo poo when someone is going to pass him so I will enjoy this while it lasts all of one week

McLaren were 100% to blame for the chassis weakness during the Honda period.

Also, you know, they fully expected Danny R. to sign the new contract and then they panic-promoted Gasly into the seat.

And Gasly was all they had because no one coming up in the programme has enough points for a super licence. That's how Kvyat ended up back in the Toro Rosso too alongside Albon.

The only reason Honda appear to have their poo poo together now is because Red Bull let them set fire to every Toro Rosso engine last year with 0 consequences.
