Bottas has speed but cannot defend, so put him in rocket mode out front until Hammy get there or Max breaks down.

Red Bull's Chief Technical Officer returned to work at Istanbul Park after the accident earlier in the summer left him needing several operations.
Marko was pleased to have Newey back as the title battle heads into its final stages.
"We are well-positioned across the board, but Adrian is, of course, the head of inspiration," Marko told F1 Insider.
"He was back at the track here in Istanbul for the first time and could already help us again."

• I agree completely . But to close the HP-gap the so necessary extra ponies must come from HONDA - ASAP.
• Yeah. Bottas was running with a lower downforce rear wing .
I heard it was still a prototype . Probably it's for to handle the higher Merc topspeed .
• In other words : A test mule won the race in a test flight !
• The Merc rear wings in Turkey .
