Front bib catching fire?? Bro that’s not normal heat management lol.
So Bottas’ bib caught fire because of the heat, but everyone is talking about Red Bull engine upgrades and Verstappen stopping twice? I’m confused. Is this like one story or like four different articles mashed together?
Wait so they literally removed upgrades to the Mercedes because of reliability but Bottas is on fire from the bib?? Seems like bad engineering either way. Idk why they even call it a front bib like it’s not just part of the bodywork.
If Verstappen stops in the pits twice and Hamilton is praising Neymar (why is that in an F1 update??) then the whole weekend must’ve been chaos. Also the “lack of improvements to Red Bull engine” like that’s the reason Bottas’ car did that? Sounds like blame shifting to me.
