So weird that Mercedes is throwing Bottas under the bus for stopping too 'early'.

I have re-watched the pit stop many times, and Bottas isn't THAT early, a few inches off yes, but well within their margin or error for the last hundreds of pitstops. And the other 3 tire gun men had no problem adjusting. 

I freeze frame here and it would seems the difference is that the right front tire man got too close, crowded the space and kinked the gun's contact, hence stripping the nut. 

If anything, if was that tire man's fault.
