Well, he was sort of saved at Imola by the safety car that literally came after a mistake that could potentially have cost him a points finish. Hamilton seems to be a bit of a magnet for good luck after he makes a […]

There is another reason why it isn’t out of the question that Bottas remains though. Even if he hasn’t always been the runner up to Hamilton, If Hamilton is the teams main driver, having a team mate […]

@robbie

Long post, but I can’t see how looking at the points doesn’t show that Mercedes were dominant like your first post says when Bottas joined.

There is an obvious difference between how close the rest […]

I think you are misusing the word dominant. It hasn’t really been consistently dominant since 2016. It could be argues that Ferrari was close to being matched or even better in 2017/2018 and Vettel just wasn’t as […]

He’s already stated that all the claims about this are entirely false and Mercedes are not Red Bull or Toro Rosso / Alpha Tauri. I think it is pretty unlikely that Bottas will be in Mercedes, but it isn’t […]

@f1fan-2000

That is something I also have noticed. Bottas was terrible in imola, but likely will have finished 6th or 7th if it wasn’t for getting knocked out as Hamilton likely will have finished behind him. […]

@rocketpanda

I sometimes get a bit mixed up about what people want from Bottas. Forums and this page is always flooded with comments saying Bottas is too gentle or doesn’t try hard enough. Many even respect […]

I think the only highlight that kubika showed was possibly his starts – or Russell was bad at them. 11 out of the 19 race starts that they had on the grid in 2019 (the other 2 of them one or other were in the pit […]

@john-h I do wonder if the tyres didn’t suffer as much as normal though. Stroll for example did 39 laps on the softest tyre. a few under safety car, but still. If he managed it on that compound, perhaps they just […]

I think there have only been 3 or 4 times that the lead driver has managed to get this without pitting for new tyres. Pretty sure 2 or 3 of them were hamilton in the last 2 seasons, then bottas got the first one […]

All they need is a bit of nose wire then that never happens. That is something so many masks miss compared to the disposable ones.

I’m not actually sure there were any true stand outs for driver of the weekend. Very few really nailed qualifying and the race put together. Hamilton didn’t get pole and had a misjudgement at the restart, but had […]

Lets remember that HAAS always seem awful at warning their drivers about these things. Magnussen and Grosjean constantly got warned too late about things – or not at all. Mazepin was clearly also at fault here, […]

he was terribly slow, but Perez made plenty of big mistakes and he didn’t get a points finish even with cars retirements from cars that were in a higher position than he finished. Pace wise, he was better than […]

@fer-no65

That is what i was thinking. I laughed that there was a whole article on this tattoo and now a we have a 3rd of an article with an update of more about not yet getting it. It really isn’t news worth […]

While I am a fan of Bottas, i still will be against him for the way he is saying say “I” when he manages to get decent or great performance out of the car and then “we” when he himself underperformed. I noticed […]

Bottas always struggles in wet races, and while it is related to the tyres, he does a worse job than most other drivers at finding their ideal operating window for these conditions. We likely will have found out […]

Bottas didn’t make a move though, he followed the racing line and attempted to stay on the dry patch. He did appear to go to the right of the track, and that indeed was true, but this won’t have been to try and […]

Well you please read what i said. I am fully aware hamilton had other aspects of bad luck, but I commented that i was talking about mechanical DNFs, and that is the area I am pointing out that Bottas does always […]

I was factoring the mechanical DNFs, or you likely could find more things for both drivers that didn’t help luck wise.
