You will find this forum unique in that we are a group of people who actually seldom agree with each other, we just don't get personal about it and so there is no need for sheep mentality. In this case I think we have all seen Hamilton win so many in a row it is hard to see anyone wrestling the title from him again until 2022.Aty wrote: ↑3 years ago Yes, I do I agree that Hamilton can drive a car made for him better than Bottas does. No need to fight that point.
Why people vote for him overwhelmingly over other drivers? Beats me, but I suspect too much of social Dopamine might have something to do with it. People look for safe harbour among their peers.
I din't vote. It will take a few races before I stick my head, thinking loud - it's over for this year.
Sure, the car is made around Hamilton, but it is not made around Russell. He jumped in and categorically beat Bottas in Bahrain having never driven the Mercedes all season (not sure if he did in pre-season testing?).
I would be interested to know, if you delete all of Hamilton's results in 2020, would Bottas have still finished ahead of Max? Both had 2 wins, 11 podiums and Max had one extra fastest lap.MonteCristo wrote: ↑3 years agoSure. But if Bottas had a worse teammate, he'd be WDC.erwin greven wrote: ↑3 years ago When you have a great car, you have to have the talent to get the maximum out of the car. Look at Bottas. Good driver, but not capable to get the maximum out of the car. Just finishing a few points above Max Verstappen who has a lesser car.
