Big , big props for being the team player to both of the Merc boys .
Bottas let Hamilton by easily , trusting his team-mate would stick to the deal .
If either of them balked at the idea , it could have turned into the Nico/Lewis scenario all over again .

That is a great driver pairing .
But did Bottas deserve to claim back the podium position after drifting back by eight seconds and falling to just over a second ahead of a rampant Verstapenn. I think Hamilton had earned the position, there was no real benefit to swop. It was risky as well but fortunately, Verstapenn did not expect that a swop was still going to happen, he would have made Hamilton pay dearly for it.
