Social media reacts: "Bottas is doing all he can to hinder Hamilton"
The internet has an opinion again after the Mexican Grand Prix of 2021. Valtteri Bottas is criticised on social media because according to the public opinion the Finn will cost his team Mercedes a lot of points and maybe even the world title. Yet there is some support for the 32-year-old driver. What do you think?
MISSING!! MISSING!!

Name: Lewis FRAUDmilton
Characteristics: Bottling, only does good in the fastest car.
Possible Locations: Max's back pocket
Last seen: Bottling win in Mexico
Warning! Afraid of Max Verstappen!
A dominant and clinical drive by Verstappen, taking the race lead before the first turn on the opening lap.

Drove with composure + discipline to take his 3rd victory in Mexico and a 9th chequered flag in 2021.
Third successive double-podium for Red Bull (Turkey - USA - Mexico).
Looks like Bottas was trying to defend against Hamilton rather than verstappen at the start. Even Horner said Bottas was good at giving max space!! #F1

Max saying Bottas is slower than Hamilton is A LOT different to Hamilton saying Perez wouldn’t be anywhere close to him without a better car

Worst thing is F1 is a team sport but Hamilton has Bottas the clown to rely on. Man is putting no pressure on anyone. Best thing he could have done today was wipeout and get a safety car on tbh

Hamilton talking about how quick the Red Bull must be because Perez almost got past him is quite funny considering Bottas has as many poles as he does this year and didn't even need the tow for it yesterday...#F1 #MexicoGP

Seeing a lot of people on the time line criticising Bottas for being a 'bad wing man' - the guy let Hamilton walk 4 world titles what more do you lot want.

Today clearly shows why Mercedes had to let Bottas go. Leaving all that space for Verstappen before turn 1 was a rookie mistake. Hamilton may not get the driver champ but Bottas may cost Merc the constructor's.

#MexicoGP convinced Bottas is doing all he can to hinder Hamilton at every opportunity…

I was saying shutting off the brakes in Baku lost Mercedes and Hamilton the championship but nah. Letting Bottas drive that car this season was the key.

Did anyone else see that Bottas want to give up the position to Hamilton but Hamilton started badly?
