Let’s criticize Valtteri so he can win the race tomorrow

@Sampoerna Dianto Bless you

[@tozl9805]

Thank you

[@theimposter2210]

That was a shambolic lap utter disgraceful

Valtteri u smell like cheese

This car just sticks to the racing line so perfectly and with an unbelievable amount of speed also 😱😱😱😱. Hats off to the engineers

[@Tacet137]

Hats off to the driver

[@ericsbuds]

he really commits too. amazing car and driver.

[@OtisLawrence45]

I think Bottas has gained a bit of confidence from winning the Russian GP Edit: loses confidence from DNF in the German GP

[@josesammut9396]

It will last until turn 2 when he understeers wide and lets Lew Lew past.

I was just thinking that too

[@jonycas2000]

If you look closely you can see the rails Mercedes laid out on track

[@thef1creator38]

Bottas absolutely nailed it, when he hooks it up his laps are somewhat very elegant to watch.

[@Simoneasparago]

Absolutely, the problem is he is not that consistent and decisive throughout the race

[@thef1creator38]

Simone Asparago agreed. He just needs to drive like this every week, or at least more often like Hamilton. Today fortunately for Bottas was one of those days Hamilton didn’t put it together so he could pounce on it, it was the other way round in Russia. Bottas has many many more of these off days in qualifying, which sets him back in the races as it’s practically impossible to outrace Hamilton when he’s out in front.

[@Mix-tn2ul]

Fun fact: Today it's World Porridge Day.

I've been recently doing a lot of sim racing, racing GT cars on this track. My best time is in 1:57 and some change, and watching the lap literally blows my mind! The breaking point are so deep!! I don't even think I could think that fast if I was in that car!
