I think Turkey proved (again) it's really not all down to the car. I like to think I know F1 strategy and I was sitting there wondering why he wouldn't pit for fresh inters. But it was possibly the most exciting race of the season. Bahrain Outer should be a treat too.
It most certainly is all down to the car. Bottas being a mediocre driver sitting in 2nd place proves it. Lewis is a great driver, no doubt about it, but he hasn't had any real competition since Rosberg left. And he was his only competition because the other cars are too slow.
SIR LEWIS FUCKING HAMILTON LET'S GOOOOO
This is one of the most important factors as well. Rosberg was damn good. Bottas is just another one of Lewis' dogs.
Rosberg wasn't afraid to get his elbows dirty. Bottas says he isn't, but proves the opposite by rolling over every chance he gets. Rosberg knew he didn't quite have Hamilton's skill, so he tried every other way to stay ahead. Bottas is just like...... ok. And accepts it.
This. So much this. Rosberg was insanely talented but Hamilton was a freak of nature. Rosberg gave Hamilton regular competition as much as the Brits like to deny it.
They just need to ctrl-alt-del that whole program. Put an aggressive driver in there.
I’d love to see Russell in that second seat but Bottas is doing what Mercedes asks for out of the number 2 driver: solid performance and no drama...
Yeah I literally covered my mouth and gasped.
I watched it live and it still terrifies me after seeing it at least a dozen times.
I will never forgot Aryton Senna's crash at Imola watching it live.
