​Hamilton + Bottas​ would consistently lock out the front row, with Bottas taking pole over Hamilton often enough. Bottas' strength was always quali and that meant he was always in the fight. Checo has much better race craft than Bottas to be sure, but he's stuck racing mid field cars and by the time the pit window opens he's lost too much time to Max to even be relevant to his strategy. Having a decent wingman almost every race, is a lot better than a good wingman twice a season. @@cyjanek7818

[@MindlessMegaLawl]

The thing with Perez is that RB give him a car where he just cannot feel confident, he doesn't have any feedback from it, he expressed so as of late; And most importantly, he needs to take care of that car first and foremost, 1. Bc he can't have the luxury of breaking it again, and 2. He's a family guy. Then again, one may argue "yOu hAvE tO aDaPt tO aNyThInG yOu'rE givEn"... I wonder what do those people think now that Max doesn't seem to adapt to this car which isn't suited to his style... I know, they blame it on the car now lol. Don't forget that Checo won 2 races from Max on pure pace on the brief moment he could feel more confident with the car. TL;DR: Checo never was, and still isn't a bad driver. The next Schumacher? Obviously not. But it's just trendy to shit on him. P.S.: Now that I think about it it was trendy to shit on Bottas lol, and mald about why the hell didn't Merc fire him and put Russell in earlier.

The funniest thing is we saw a similar situation happen played out earlier that season when RB literally boxed Perez at Silverstone with the intention of taking fastest lap point away for Lewis which he duly did or later that season in Qatar when Max boxed for the fastest lap point The only reason Bottas was boxed was because the delta from him to Lewis pre stops wasn’t big enough for Lewis to box and get back ahead of Bottas it wasn’t for him to get the fastest lap

[@rvfharrier]

For real, wonder if these same people had an issue with Red Bull pitting Perez from P10 in the final laps of Silverstone in order to take the FL point off of Lewis. That's arguably even worse because Sergio didn't even get that point, as you only get the point for fastest lap if you actually finish in the top 10. So RB clearly decided actively taking a point off of Sergio was worth it so that the point didn't go to Lewis, therefore benefitting Max. That'll probably just be logical championship management though lol.
