Bottom post of the previous page:

If you look at the constructors points it is getting to be pretty much over. Ironically already Lewis has double Bottas points. Max more than double Perez.

1. Lewis HAMILTON 94
2. Max VERSTAPPEN 80
3. Valtteri BOTTAS 47
4. Lando NORRIS 41
5. Charles LECLERC 40
6. Sergio PEREZ 32

I gotta say, while I'd put my money on Mercedes before Red Bull, I certainly wouldn't say that it's pretty much over. Especially as Sergio may still be settling in with his new team.

It'll be hard for Red Bull, but I wouldn't be surprised if Perez began to bring it to Bottas.

I think it safe to say Bottas is where Bottas will stay. He wont improve over the year. Sergio on the other hnd, once he becomes more familiar with the car and can get to grips with the qualifying, his race pace will improve as he understands the quirks, and. in turn adapts his driving to the car.

I agree in as much as I believe Sergio will be matching or certainly closer to Bottas before too long. I believe Sergio is potentially better come raceday than Bottas

Perez has a higher race performance possibility because I expect them to be equal pace, but I expect Perez to have better strategy options with tyre preservation

I'm not holding my breath for Perez to start to challenge Bottas

1. Not sure who won driver of the day, but probably should be Hamilton or Leclerc.....
I just heard that they did not award a "driver of the day" at Spain because a large group of people voted in Mazepin. :0
