They've been full of shyt since lap one.
As Hamilton is chasing Lando, Paul di Resta says Mercedes should pit Bottas first so he could undercut Lando and take P2 And then next lap Hamilton gets by Lando.
Hamilton praises Lando on the radio, Paul di Resta 'that's because he let him by easily

'
We hear 3 times on the radio that Hamilton has damage, even Bottas is told Hamilton has damage. Croft and di Resta: 'Hamilton is losing time it might be due to tire wear, lack of pace or maybe damage'.
And even now they're still pretending to be shocked Hamilton is not catching up to Lando and putting up fast laps on new tires.
