[@heathen455]

Is it just me, or did VB seem much happier then?

[@dausdk]

same to me, maybe nowdays he got daily verbal abuse by people the internet.. so not much happier?

[@batot3617]

I agree, he definitely felt better in his williams years. His role at Mercedes probably eats him from inside. Everyone compare him to Lewis and all that stuff. It must be hard for him.

[@j0aaa]

well after failing to beat Lewis for 4 seasons and the amount of hate he gets i wouldn't be surprised

[@segueoyuri]

@@dausdk I guess the internet abuse is the least of his problems.

[@davidpanken]

You can see that from one video? Come on..

[@natanaelaitonean3867]

they could have given him 0.5 for the GP3 winners question...

[@richard92251]

1 pont for Verstappen, and the driver of the year

[@kuttispielt7801]

more like 2/3 of a point

[@MayaBishopStan]

Exactly. Atleast he named two out of 3

[@MihirParmar74]

Now he can add his own name to the list of Finns to win a gp!

[@aggerktm]

Mika Salo shouldve been on that list too :( shame he was forced to let Irvine through

[@Tzomthekliafafanboy]

@aggerktm he deserved the win

[@OldBuford]

its so strange seeing him so full of hope and joy...what did mercedes do to this man?

[@SJ-ev9ox]

The issue isn’t Bottas. It’s Mercedes.

[@KenanJHS]

[@princeendymion9044]

They took his porridge away

[@NsoCraft]

he is back!

[@Jordidwaard]

@@SJ-ev9ox Definitely is bottas lol. When you get the mercedes seat you are expected to race for the title, which he has never come close to doing. the expectations just werent as high in the williams.

I don't think ricciardo for championship but seb and lewis

He would be a title contender atm but too much unlucky happenings

[@schumi246]

Maybe it will he same feeling in a couple years, except with George russel.

[@parsa_4]

Bottas is one of my favourite drivers. Such a nice, humble person. Very respectful.

[@raphaelrtw]

This is from when Valtteri still had a soul. You look at him now, he always looks like someone who had a bad night's sleep

[@t0li0s]

Wow! He seems so enthusiastic and happy. I am sure he will fit perfectly at merc and maybe next year will be a championship? edit: valtteri its James

[@frederickdevries12]

OH COMMON BLUE FLAG THAT WAS MORE THAN A LAP

[@poochihead]

Happy Finnish Independence Day Bottas!

[@SarahConnor618]

Wait.. finland is a country? I thought they were part of russia ..

[@WrektSK]

Would love to see him back at Williams just to see him smile and be in a happy mental state again

[@jfv2312]

One of the most firm candidates to get Rosberg's seat. My heart says Alonso, but my head says Wehrlein or this man

[@ericokompatzki7110]

Javier Fernández specially Wehrlein

[@mrRTvids]

Not gonna be Alonso. Mclaren confirmed. Wehrlein or Bottas it is.

[@jfv2312]

Richard yeah sadly it is like that. I wished so hard for a 2007 2.0 season with ALO-HAM being teammates, but that is 99% impossible

[@mrRTvids]

Javier Fernández Yes, I kinda agree. But I also think it's time for the new guys. We'll see.

[@mrRTvids]

Alright, taking back what I said. Seems like Mercedes actually considers Alonso for real. No matter what Mclaren says. lol.

[@prateekgill27]

2021 - Bottas *used* to smile in F1

[@Eketys]

We all know what happens if Alonso partners Hamilton in Mercedes next year. Congratulations 2017 World Champion, Kimi Raikkonen!

[@weepjng]

hahahah he is in Ferrari as well

[@audybharksuwana2041]

Claire Williams has a degree in politics? Perfect for F1!

[@jerryldavis1823]

Bottas is enough to kick Hamiltons ass if he goes to Mercedes . if Alonso goes to Mercedes then thats even more headache for Hamilton.

[@jraybay]

jerryl davis Yeah just like the headache in 2007, when he handled Alonso, as a rookie.

[@weepjng]

Actually they both finished one point behind Raikkonen I believe, you must be a Lew Lew fangirl?

[@jraybay]

No way. There's some 2007 information, none of us knew already.

[@weepjng]

jraybay "when he handled Alonso" they matched each other in every aspect of that year.. I'm confused as to what you mean :(

[@RambolPtl]

jerryl davis I don't know why people like you talk as if Lewis is an average driver.

[@amiel6057]

I'm hoping valterri gets back in Williams so I can watch him be happy like this

[@zamknijryj1780]

Grill The Grid, it's James...

[@longslonz4982]

He looks like he is just a citizen of a different planet from guardian of galaxy.

[@MSTF1]

Even in quizzes, Bottas is incredibly meh.

[@ksells]

So what? He's a good driver - why does someone's personality have to come into it?

[@vonaefect3097]

He's your average Finn, but I don't see him being any less interesting compared to most drivers on the grid.

such a great personality!

[@szukaj11]

[@terrance7300]

I truly hope VB finds his joy of racing once again in Alfa Romeo, away from the pressures of being compared to Hamilton. He really is a great driver but the pressures at Mercedes really took a toll.
