Valtteri Bottas Interview | Beyond The Grid | Official F1 Podcast

[@Goodstegosaurus]

I don't know how people dislike Valtteri. He's such a nice guy, down to earth, and massively underrated as a driver.

[@valenesco45]

I dont think people really dislike him, memes are memes and are probably the only way to tone down all the hot discussions about F1. I also made jokes on him, but I'd be fine seeing him win every race rather than Hamilton, and I'm a Ferrari fan.

[@Goodstegosaurus]

@@valenesco45 Yeah, I get the memes, but I've seen comments on videos calling him all sorts of things. Just don't get how you can dislike the guy

[@mickrofone]

IAmAStegosaurus Nobody really dislike Bottas, it’s just that many people (myself included) think that he doesn’t deserve a seat in a top team like Mercedes. He’s quick but lack too much race pace and struggles to much to overtake. We want to see drivers aggressive like Ricciardo at the top, and people that would actually challenge Hamilton all year long like Rosberg did and not just for a couple of races

[@valenesco45]

@@mickrofone You're wrong, everytime Bottas got a chance to fight Hamilton Mercedes intentionally decided to stop him. That's why you see no competition between them.

[@ab8jeh]

@@valenesco45 that is bullshit. He won at Melbourne for a start.

Happy you won that fight keep it up💪🏼💪🏼

[@LS-Moto]

@@jorritvanderkooi939 Thank you very much.... enjoying life and F1 more than ever now 😀💪

[@rising_1rish978]

I think it'd be a good idea if they where to put a podium in the recovery centre or hospital's for men and women who beat cancer maybe even through in a bottle of champagne to celebrate like f1 driver's winning a race seen stuff like ringing a bell but I think after battling with cancer so long it would really complement the hard work you put in an came out on top

[@rising_1rish978]

@@LS-Moto I love hearing from people who raced with cancer and came first

[@LS-Moto]

@@rising_1rish978 haha thank you so much. Yeah, would be fun getting a trophy for beating cancer.... but on the other hand, I think it may also dishonor those that didn't beat it and lost the fight. There are events like relay for life, where former and current patients are being honored, and money being raised for research. I beat it just a couple of months ago. I remember, in hospital I jacked the TV remote from my roomate the night before the Australian GP this year, and when I was sitting in Chemotherapy when the Kimi podcast was published. The Azerbaijan GP being the first after I finished my treatment, and watching the Canadian GP as a stage 3 cancer survivor, when the results came in a week prior. Ever since, I've been running and working out, to regain strength, endurance, confidence, mass and energy.... and right now, I feel absolutely great :).... last months check ups were good, and I got my next check coming in december.... F1 videos and GP's, were really a great thing to keep busy while dealing with that crap.

[@TheConfidentNoob]

Valtteri is such a nice guy and such decent driver and I have massive respect for him and he's definitely become my favourite driver! I'm a British fan of F1 and people usually wonder why I don't support Lewis, but I don't want to follow the British crowd! Valtteri is such an underrated driver and should have more of a fan base😊

[@Rodoriginal101]

Daniel pulled it off quite well :-)

[@SieTeppischfresser]

Right off the bat, "He has the toughest job because he's Lewis Hamilton's teammate." why even say that? He has enough of "This is James...," but we can't have a single conversation about Bottas without mentioning Hamilton. He's interesting on his own and doesn't need to have Hamilton thrown in his face every 5 seconds.

[@reapov2665]

STFU lol

[@garrettshepard3392]

I think it's pertinent because your teammate is the one with the same equipment as you. Add the fact that it's currently the best/most consistent car and one of the best drivers of the modern era, I don't disagree with the statement. The bar for Valtteri is set incredibly high but I think he's been doing a damn fine job.

[@mikeymasi]

Spot on. Sham is a fyckwit too

[@reapov2665]

@@garrettshepard3392 agreed

I think it should be taken as a compliment because love him or hate him Lewis Hamilton is the tip of f1 driving and bottas is keeping him on his toes and they are both pushing each other to improve.

I knew I would like this man. May he achieve his dreams. (I think that he should be sponsored by the the Moomins franchise too.)

[@youmakeitreal]

It appears to me that Valtteri is the only F1 driver to be able to work effectively with Lewis. Precisely why he had his contract extended, and a good reason Merc is on top. Team efforts even though much of the focus is only on two of the players.
