My opinion Bottas is a far better driver than George Russel

[@kingofmemes5017]

Valtteri will prove himself as a capable driver. Not easy playing second fiddle to a 7 time WDC

[@felipearaya3546]

"Valtteri, it's James!!" Typical phrase from Bottas' team radio in his Mercedes' stance.

[@LoganHunter82]

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets PTSD everytime he hears it

The team really shafted his career.

[@saiyerugara9038]

He got a few wins and was twice a runner-up. I don't think he would have done that if he was not in a Mercedes lol!

The team is the only reason he has F1 race wins in his career soooo i dont know about that.

He was a great teammate and team player to the success of Mercedes’s dominance.

[@greenglass8779]

Naaaah' Checo in one year is really helping Max much more than what Bottas is doing. Yesterday, being rebellious for that fastest lap??? Do you think Checo would do the same to Max???? Nothing to say???? Hahhahhahaha

[@greenglass8779]

Btw, teammate??? He could not retain Max(that means.. Helping Mercedes, and Lewis)... Not a single lap... Is that helpful???? Checo is much more capable of retaining. Me, and you, know that. ;)

Hey at least george Russell can forfill his dream hopefully

[@JP-ml3cs]

I'm gonna miss him at merc, even though george is a better option something about Valterri hit different

[@Ivyticrea]

lets see if george is really the better option. He may be more competitive towards lewis which may be bad for the team

[@JP-ml3cs]

@@Ivyticrea 100% agree and especially since hamilton is on until 2023 it could be another Lewis-Nico Situation, but Toto sees george as the future and if he doesn't give George the run then he could go elsewhere like Esteban did

[@gamezahoy712]

@@JP-ml3cs If you honestly believe that they will let an hamilton roberg happen they won't. 1 year contract deals. On top of that they will pull so many stops to make sure it does not happen. Russel is the new bottas:]

[@Superfluous.]

Time for Bottas to throw the 'shield' he was given by Totto to protect Lewis right back at them next season. Hopefully he gets a car that can compete.

[@Cal3000]

You mean doing what every wingman does in F1. If Bottas had the pace of Lewis, he wouldn't need to be a shield. Regardless, Bottas is a top driver on the grid.
