The best fights in the hybrid era:
“Bottas, hold position”
“Confirm”

[bxtlixer]

The way Rosberg looked when team orders were given was just to funny

[harizraze]

The disappointment on Rosberg's face when Bottas complied to team orders says it all.

[nuibui]

"Bottas hold position"
"Confirm"
What a fight.

Title: "Top 10 battles"
-Top 9: "Valtteri it's James. Please hold position"

Nice joke F1 :D

[causethisisthriller]

James: Valtteri, it's James. Hold position.
Bottas: Copy James.

Nico Roseberg: **visible confusion**

[roryevans]

You can’t put “valteri it’s James” on here as one of the best battles in over nearly a decade of f1

[fraudnaldo]

3:00 at first glance, that Red Bull car looked like it was hovering because of the Heli's shadow 🤦‍♂️😹

[WalkiiiMooF]

Rosberg's reaction to the team order was golden

[antonov]

Nico's face at 2:43 sums up how we react to team orders

[gabrielbeaulne]

Mercedes: give Bottas instructions so that he doesn't battle with Hamilton
F1: BaTeL

[RblxFighter]

"No team orders here at Mercedes"
"Valtteri its James please hold position"

**They had us in the first half, not gonna lie**

[keeve]

3:02 Because of the shade of the helicopter, it kinda looks like the car is flying

[Wizzkidwas]

"No team orders at Mercedes!"
5 seconds later
"Valtteri, it's James"

[rk-wypu]

No way Bottas vs Hamilton in Germany can be classed as a battle. Team orders literally killed any chance of a battle the moment it started.

[puneetvijay]

Man Charles Leclerc's defending is on another level ...

[TheRealGirlWeeb]

I still don't quite get why people think Rosberg wasn't special
He was an amazing driver
Became world champion
When in the same team as Hamilton

That's a massive achievement in my book

[kgeorgel]

That was hilarious when valterri was told o hold position and nico looked like bruh are you a driver or what

[samueljohansen]

The fact that Hulkenberg went wide while watching Leclerc VS Hamilton is gold

[bosourd]

james: "valtteri hold position, let lewis win this one"
lewis: "i'm the greatest"
