I just don't get how Bottas gets a messed up pit stop in almost every race now (and lets not forget Russell last year), whereas this NEVER happens to Lewis. WTF?

A Team vs B Team pit crew?

You'd think so, wouldn't you. But instead, Toto has come out blaming Bottas for "not stopping on his marks". Yeah, he's off by about 6", but that just meant that the techs had to move over a step. The guys on the other three corners managed it fine. Front right guy was just too lazy to move and hold the gun square to the nut.
