What's really telling is that Bottas was nowhere to be found in any of Mercedes post race social media, or press releases. Yet they had Ocon do a lot of the post race videos and press. That's not normally the case, they literally erased Bottas from the race, didn't even say he had a difficult race like normal, just zero mention of him, and he wasn't at the post race photoshoot. That's not unheard of, but dropping all mention of his race from every social media outlet and press release? That does speak volumes. I think at the Spa race weekend we'll hear that Ocon has been signed for the 2020 season and Bottas has been dropped.
