So the conversation of Team Orders is here again, nobody likes them but you cant deny that sometimes they make sense, if your faster driver is stuck behind a your slower driver then they need to swap over, but should that be an order, surly if he's faster then he should be able to overtake. The concept of a no.1 & no.2 driver is horrible and IMO no need for it, decide on a race by race basis, like Bahrain, Bottas had technical issues with his tyres slowing him down so yes let Hamilton past, but if both cars and drivers were performing well then Bottas shouldn't be made to just let Hamilton past because he is their no.1 driver. If I was Bottas I would also be very concerned over Hamilton's history of refusing to follow team orders in the past.
