I think there's a good argument that Bottas is a better driver than Hamilton this year. I don't claim to know what's going on, but Hamilton's not been able to catch up and overtake this season as Bottas has.
There's a good chance it will turn out next year that Russel's the best driver--

TBH I'm all for Tsunoda, though--!

What has this thing to do with who is better driver? Is it Hamiltons fault he has good starts and always qualifies in top 2? Imagine you calling Bottas better this year when Lewis has literally 70-80 more points.
And it's not like Hamilton was involved few weeks before in a crash with Verstappen where he literally overtook everyone and got to third place as Bottas did but even with damaged car lol.

Underperform because of Lewis? Are you watching formula since Netflix put it on the menu list? Like NBA? XD

Bottas is never even close to be so good like Lewis.

Bottas/Lewis are in the same team for 5 years, you see in a season or two who is better and it's normal they will favor their best driver.
Bottas was unlucky several times with pitstops and some management but there is not chance that even more than 10% would be on purpose.
If the engineers see someone is getting better times ofcourse they will let the faster monopost change places...
And bare in mind, Im one of those who supports literally every underdog and anyone who can stop Lewis. I can't watch him win, but I'm not biased and I know he is an incredible.. incredible driver.

Trust me I watch NBA and Formula 1 when you were still a infant. I have seen Schumacher and Jordan at the wizards.

I said literally Bottas is a very good driver, most likely currently better than Lewis. The bottas after knowing hes gone from Lewis wingman status is showing great results but still gets messed with.

Last pitstop at Zandford for Bottas was irrational just like French GP.



Monza he was throughout incredible, to bad for the grid penalty.

Rosberg himself made several interviews pointing out the favourable role of Hamilton in Mercedes, it took a no fucks given attitude of Rosberg during his last season to beat him but with a price of a bad spotlight with mercedes.



Lewis is a good driver in a superior car the last decade and a biased team to his favour. Overall all seasons consindered better than Bottas .

At the end Max dwarfs both in terms of skills and hes that young.

Calm down, friend. I think it's obvious that Hamilton's not been his best this season, even if "[Bottas] is a better driver" isn't the best way to say it.

You wish

I said literally Bottas is likely currently better than Lewis.

Wrong, currently better with 70 points behind.
Favoring a driver is normal when he is better...
Pitstops are fails of mechanics, only in a fairy tale mind you could even assume they do this on purpose.

As I said before I favor anyone to win a race against Lewis, my dad is a big Lewis fan and I always get in a fight when there comes to a penalty or crashes.
But undeniably Lewis was the best on the grid those years. I don't even like Max, but I'm cheering for him alot only to beat Lewis. So on saturday I was very happy they both crashed.

Yeah-- I wish Verstappen was a more likeable dude, but I'm just happier when Hamilton lets other people win (even knowing that he deserves it, he was a great driver.

I find Max likeable, more than Lewis.

Max is 0% fake and no marketing product like others, no virtue signaling like the Vettel cunt or Lewis.
