Bottas got embarrassed HARD today, jesus. Lewis ends up half a minute behind last, catches up, overtakes people left and right to get back to 7th in like under 20 laps....meanwhile, Bottas fucks up the start, and ends up stuck pretty much in place around 5-7th all race. Pathetic.

Yeah, Bottas really isn't good enough for Mercedes. Too bad they keep renewing his contract, it'd be nice to see somebody else in that car giving Lewis a fight on equal footing. Would love to see Max at Mercedes, see how he fares against Lewis when they have the same car.

I understand why they do it, because the atmosphere in the team when it was Lewis and Nico obviously devolved into being quite toxic, but it really is frustrating - even as a Lewis fan - to see Bottas squander his opportunities weekend after weekend. I didn't care so much in the two years that Merc were having close fights with Ferrari for most of the season, but now that they've fallen back as they have, the lack of competition at the front is really frustrating.
