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.

[@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.

Bottas was brought into Mercedes as a number two driver. The car was dominant and with it, Bottas had the drive of his career. The worst part for me, was him being released from a top team, down to the bottom of the paddock. And now he will be without a contract 2025. With a decent package, Bottas always puts in a solid performance, and he is able to communicate feedback to the team. With more money coming from Audi, he would be a great addition for development. Personally I’d like to see him at Alpine.

Checo was actually a very weak teammate in 2021. If you ignore the TWO LAPS of defence he did literally in the final race, he wasn't a factor in Max's championship fight. Bottas actually took points off Max on one occasion, Turkey 2021. Outside of Baku, Checo wasn't really close enough to the front to threaten Lewis. Think of Silverstone 2021, a perfect example. Lewis has a 10 second penalty. Checo should be there to take the win and force Lewis to settle for second but he spun off after the restart and so was a non-factor in the race. Bottas was consistently third. He was a very solid driver. If Lewis had an issue, Bottas would be there to secure the points. If Max has an issue? Checo is lucky to be on the podium.

Its not. Bottas did everything he could to help Lewis win that title. The only times Bottas finished ahead of Lewis that season was in Austria (where he finished 2nd, with Lewis in 4th) and in Turkey (where he won and Lewis finished 5th after taking engine penalties). In Austria, Lewis had damage and finished 30 seconds behind Bottas. If you want to argue that he should have let Norris finish 2nd and dropped to 4th so Hamilton can finish 3rd, then... ok thats fine, but I don't think anyone really thinks that a reasonable thing to expect ANYONE to do. The damage Hamilton had was clearly too great for Bottas to play rear gunner and defend against Lando (especially when you consider that Bottas strength has never, ever been battling wheel to wheel. Its always been a massive weakness of his.) In Turkey, Bottas did what he needed too. With Lewis starting down the grid, they needed Bottas to win to deny Max the win, and he did exactly that.

Perez rear gunned for Verstappen all season long, and was particularly more useful to his teammate than Bottas was to Hamilton for the entire final quarter of the season. Most notably the final race, where Perez was left out on shredded tires just to hold Hamilton up, which is what prevented Hamilton from getting a free pit stop at the end the race, and where Bottas was so very far back in the race that Vertappen did get a free stop.
