Oh and this race just confirms in my mind that Bottas is clearly a #2 driver. Despite some of the claims made earlier in the year I don't think he is even as good as Rosberg was.
Perhaps not yet - Rosberg had many years in the car/team before he started to really come through....I think for his 1st year in the team and with Lewis as his teammate he's doing a great job.VolvoT5 said:

His first season with Merc so I can give him a break. I though Rosberg was as fast as they come in the Hybrid era, but I think it's obvious that Bottas is never going to win this season so I've no problem with him playing rear gunner for 2017.Lewis: "Mercedes power is better than Ferrari power." Happy birthday Tifosi!

It's been that way for a number of races. On paper Bottas is going to beat Lewis in Singapore unless Lewis stops over-driving under-braking & corner entry a la Russia & Monacoentropy said:

Disagree. Inconsistant car that ate tyres and being team mate to Schumi in which it was damned if do and and damned if you don't beat him.johnxjsc1985 said:
I think Danny Ric is fast becoming my favourite driver....and he seems like a really good bloke too.I will like him even more if he overtakes Vettel
Good job he's been deemed a "good bloke" otherwise I doubt he'd get away with making sordid jokes about "liking them vulnerable".johnxjsc1985 said:

maybe need to look at your own mind I took it entirely differently to you.My God, Merc don't half make up some boring 1-2s. Thought we'd had enough of these in the last few years. But apparently not! 
The race for other positions was good. Surprised how quickly Bottas dispatched the Merc customers. I'd have expected Ocon atleast to put up a fight.
Danny Ric. On the same Ferrari.

It's a shame you can't overtake like that anymore purely because you risk destroying the tyre and therefore your race.....Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
