Yeah feel bad for Valtteri He did everything as Mercedes second driver and in the end toto didn't even say goodbye at the end of the Abu Dabi race

@@epicseeker9260 Doesn't have to say it on radio.

Agreed, a lightning fast qualifier too.

But then again not every driver got to drive such rocketships that obliterated the competition specially like the W11 and W10

@@Jluna16 that is the point of the initial comment ....

@@glazed6098 no it wasn’t

@@Jluna16 because not every driver was talented enough to be recognized then hired by the teams of such rocketships.

People forget that his teammate is the greatest to ever step foot in an F1 car should feel no shame at all coming second to Lewis

@@chefizzy2238 10 wins in 5 years driving a Mercedes. This is not exactly a stellar record, even with his bad luck...

@@SIXITHS Kimi has 21, Max has 20, Jenson Button has 15 and Massa has 11... 10 wins definetly isn't a bad result in 5 years, especially considering how he is literally a second driver in the team and has been ordered to switch places with Lewis multiple times

@@codemy666 Massa never had access to the kind of exemplary machinery that Bottas has had, and nearly being killed had a massive negative effect on his career, as you should have remembered. He never won another race after his incredible escape from nearly having a loose spring cave his skull in. Most of Button's wins in his 2009 season were with a car that was only the best for the first half of the season, and his WDC got him a drive at McLaren gaining him another 8 wins there. He had only had a single win before 2009 because he was driving uncompetitive midfield cars. In the single season that he had a front-running car he won 6 races and wrapped up the title. Comparing Bottas to Button is not a favourable comparison for Valteri in any way. Kimi's 21 wins came from 9 different years, some of those in a near-bankrupt Lotus team, whilst racing against MSC, Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton. He never had the dominant car of the field in any year he raced. None of the drivers you mentioned had the best car for years on end. Along with the poor luck, Bottas' too-often bad race starts have also cost him. I wish he had done much better, but you have to acknowledge reality even if it is painful.

I though he sucked big time. He was only quick in qualifying; and SUCKED in overtaking.

@@fkez0510 maybe

@@fkez0510 anybody can apply for Mercedes f1, they’ve always got jobs !! So yes quite possibly

I doubt he'll be anywhere in the top 3 with Alpha but good luck to VB.

I HATE MERCEDES but Valterri Valtteri is epic

The likes were on 77. That was perfect

Also like Bottas, not perfect 🙄

There’s absolutely no shame in being teammate to the best driver who ever graced an F1 track, and getting beaten over the course of a season. The wins come from being able the beat that teammate on occasion; which Valtteri did and the rest of the time he was the ultimate teammate. Well done Valtteri, enjoy Alpha Romeo.

He did his job and didn’t rock the boat with Lewis as he won title after title. Maybe Vettel would have won one of those years if Bottas was also taking points off Hamilton.

No doubt. Plus people have sympathy for him, good and all. But and one cannot deny that, for a periode he definitely was aiming for the world title big time. Multiple times he verbally made clear it was his main goal. Whether it were his skills, the pitwall orders to him or his position of second driver in general that wdc got lost in translation. Unfortunately for him.

Yeah he did his part in their historic run. Verstappen got as many wins this year as Bottas did his whole time in the Mercedes. If Bottas was another Rosberg, Vettel probably could have taken one of the titles.

@@ShaqFuGuru 100%...coz there are many times Bottas ghosted lewis on the track and he had to be told to slow down lol

STUPID STATEMENT though in a glance logically true, if you follow the news ITS CLEARLY FROM TEAM RADIO VALTERRI TASKED AS LEWIS SUPPORT, you muppet coming from netflix didnt even know anything about f1

@Declan Powell Russell will be his wingman. They signed a driver from within their academy because they know they can do whatever they want with him. Russell has a career because of Mercedes.

@@richard35791 Your butthurt is showing mate...

He didn’t have chances to win the championship

@@TinyBearTim Because he followed team orders every race. If he'd be aggressive like Rosberg was, sure he win atleast one championship in his 5 years, unfortunate

Lol he's a good driver but naaaahhh...not the championship. Even he knew it.

It is never close for Bottas. Especially this year. He won ONE race and got ONE P2 in 22 races. In a car that fought for the championship to the very end, that is awful. And he did a terrible job at supporting Hamilton, letting Verstappen pass way too easily. If George would have been promoted to Mercedes a year earlier, Lewis would probably be Champion right now

@@shukriwafiq5220 The problem with Bottas is that he wasn't consistent enough to stay in a title fight. He started out strong in 2019 but fell off 2nd half of the season, and 2nd half of the season is usually when Lewis is at his best. 2018 was unlucky; puncture in Baku and then the team telling him to hold position at Hockenheim which I get why they did but it would've been cool to see him go at Lewis, and there was Sochi when the team literally stole the win from him and gave it to Lewis but again, they did it because he wasn't in the title fight. At the end of the day when Valterri was fighting for the championship from the beginning of the season there never was a bias, but when he wasn't he used as a 'wingman' persay.

I'm not.

@@KarlPilkington89 good for you 👍🏼

And in turn, the fastest car in history.

@@bwxmoto well, there is that Le Mans Porsche that was modified to be insanely fast and holds the Nordschleife record, and there's that electric VW that holds the pike's peak record, and of course there are top fuel dragsters and rocket cars, but the Merc is the fastest car to race wheel to wheel with other cars.

@@namenamename390 Lewis Pole Position lap in the W11 of 1min 41.252 beat the 919 Evo lap record of 1min 41.770 at Spa, also Valttery qualy was 1min 41.763, so yeah; the W11 over a single lap is insanely fast.

@@namenamename390 I meant sanctioned road racing car but yeah. Le Mans modified might be faster on a particular circuit on a particular day but not faster than a W11 modified in same manor and and if it was unleashed to its full potential without the crazy fuel consumption and aero restrictions F1 rules put on the car.

​@@namenamename390 And also that heavily modified Le Mans car beat the lap time at the Ring of the 2017 Mercedes F1 car and by less than a second over almost 13 miles. Given the W11 is faster than the 2017 Mercedes F1 car, I still think the W11 is faster probably even under the regulations not to mention if it was unleashed to full potential. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe Mercedes should modify the 2020 W11 and run the Ring again! That would be a cool thing to watch. --- "With Porsche works driver Neel Jani at the wheel, the 919 Hybrid Evo completed a lap of 1m 41.770s - 0.783 seconds faster than Mercedes-Petronas’ F1 car" "919 Hybrid Evo has been freed of the WEC-mandated fuel flow limiter and features updated software. The result is that power from the combustion engine has been increased from 500hp to 720hp and the energy recovery system from 400hp to 440hp. " "Porsche say that (compared to the 2017 919 Hybrid that qualified at Spa-Francorchamps) they have increased downforce by 53 per cent and increased aerodynamic efficiency by 66 per cent"

@@anthonymagmerc1279 least Sauber was sucessful back in the 90s

@@anthonymagmerc1279 it’s Alfa Romeo too

Alfa has almost the same budget as Haas, if not less, but have done much better with what they have. I think Alfa is the fastest team when you divide the speed over the budget, they can extract more speed per dollar. This is a very important skill for when the budget cap comes into effect.

@@giovannigiorgio3727 I hope you’re proud of yourself for taking time to berate someone when you’ll never do anything nearly as meaningful in your life.

I'd probably argue Felipe Massa was an even better driver who hasn't won a championship yet, but Valtteri Bottas is definitely up there with him.

I couldn’t help but be a fan of his because of the unique position he was in. Showing me the conflict of putting your success as an individual aside for the sake of the team.

@@Flameville It’s going to be very interesting how Russel is. Russel’s obviously young and inexperienced (compared to Lewis) and I don’t think he’ll be a wingman like VB. I think he’s gonna go for more wins of his own

Hes a lot happier in Alfa because they let him drive like he wants to, no restrictions, no "lewis is faster than you"

he won't be a merc, that's why he left. They used him like a tool for Lewis, they were good teamates but you could tell he had a hard relationship with Lewis after all the races he was told to give the position to Hamilton.
