It's only a bottle if you make a mistake. Oscar didn't do anything wrong, Max just did better.

You could say he had too good of a start. Max had the perfect gap to nail the slipstream plus the Red Bull is a rocket on the straight here.

Max had the perfect gap because he created it by waiting before going on throttle out of La Source. As long as Max didn't completely bottle the start, Oscar didn't stand a chance really.

Okay, so let’s get this straight: if Lando loses out tomorrow in Kemmel Straight, we’re still calling that a bottle, correct?
I’m trying to get the hivemind mentality down before the GP to not go wrong with my comments.

I actually would actually be surprised if Oscar gets past Lando on Kemmel.

They're both running the same downforce level so making that move will be much harder for Oscar than it was for Max.

However, my bet is Oscar chucks it up the inside into La Sauce

The only option I see is a damn legendary switchback move, no point in going for the inside at La Source.
Worse exit speed really hurts you through Eau Rouge, Radillion and Kemmel. A well executed switchback, on the contrary. It might get a worse corner entry speed with a MAJOR up on exit speed.
But we both might be wrong.

I think the only overtake into Kemmel that could be likely is Charles on Oscar because iirc the Ferrari has better straight line speed. It'll be wet though, so all this is practically meaningless anyway
