Awesome. 
I really can't imagine what it must be like being a brand ambassador. I once went to a thing (free champagne!) where Jessica Ennis was star guest. She was lovely, but was seemingly there only to smile and make small talk with randoms pushed her way.
It looked to me like an excuse for c list celebs to pretend they were at some awesome glittering event for the benefit of the press, and little else.
Though I guess this is what royals have been doing for centuries since they stopped waging war.

As for that Mexican wrestling stunt, Vettel’s best hope for the championship was something like that going a bit wrong, leaving Hamilton out of action for a few races. But even that won’t save him now.

Hilarious.But at least the pro-wrestler is giving Lewis a tougher battle than Bottas
Truth is Lewis is better than Bottas and Seb is faster than Kimi, so over a season these things work themselves out. If Bottas smashes Lewis for the first six races out of the blocks next year then we'll really see if there's a team status, but it looks like he's not a patch on Nico.
I think Bottas will be a good buy for another team in future, though. He's fast enough and a known quantity against Lewis Hamilton, in the same way that Kimi will be a great benchmark for Sauber next year.

He is better than Bottas, it’s one of the few times I can recall, that the favoured driver is less than the team mate, and goes on to win the championship ( probably). This is what grips my shyte, more than anything else, with the ‘game’ now. Hamilton isn’t all that, he ticks 2 from the 5 boxes which ( for me ) equal a great driver. The ones he doesn’t tick, count for more than the ones he does.I think Bottas will be a good buy for another team in future, though.

Different team management and cars. Straight comparison is impossible.
Not really. To use your own analogy i think a pro wrestler would have given Vettel a tougher battle than Kimi this yearGOATever said:

+1Mercedes had the opportunity to secure Ricciardo, who is fast and motivated.
Meanwhile Ferrari have taken a risk in LeClerc, who may well be duking it out with Vettel.
And Red Bull will allow Verstappen and Gasly to race each other.

I’ve read some cr4p on this forum over the years but by god this one wins. It’s not just cr4p but comes along with it’s very own sewage treatment plant Edited by GOATever on Sunday 28th October 18:31
