there are tons of factors that can fail an engine especially for Formula 1 engine.. Bottas already had a warning from the team that temps are getting higher than optimal.. but he chosen to ignore it.. actually there is nothing lose for this season anyway.. was it a good choice no, but still something cause it could ve worked.. and there is a lot of different combinations on the steering wheel that adjusts engine mapping and more.. most the race cars dont have cause of regulations or financial part.. since oil consumption is limited in F1 even with the flow rate, only a richer AFR and lower boost could settle the things down easily.. but Bottas had to lose his pace.. they chose not to..

actually the thing i hate the most the temps go high easier than before.. yes teams are keeping the cooling systems minimal almost at the level to survive the race with free flow to shave time.. its ok but after some point if you re not a leading car, and you need to overtake but you cant because you cant get closer is such a stupid thing.. that optimal range should be wider.. its pretty narrow in recent 1-2 years and it sucks..
