Vettel hit the nail on the head—Hamilton looked like he was bored out of his mind.
I’d honestly love to see Sebastian Vettel clinch another title just so we could have five of them, but I don't know where on earth you're finding Valtteri Bottas.🙂
Bottas is the only shot Red Bull Racing or Ferrari have left. Anything else is just a pipe dream.☕
Mercedes still has a massive lead over everyone else. It’s not that insane gap they used to have, but they're definitely still ahead of the pack.
Back in the day, they were barely pushing 60-70%. Then a while back, it climbed to maybe 70-80%. Last year? Probably hitting 80-85%, if not creeping up toward 90%. But honestly, I bet they’ve still got at least another 10% of pure advantage just sitting there, completely untouched.
If Bottas actually starts taking points away from Hamilton, then they might actually stand a chance.
If we get that focused version of Max we saw in Australia—the one who actually plays the long game and picks up points steadily instead of just charging blindly into walls—he might actually stand a chance at snatching some points away from Lewis Hamilton.
And hey, maybe Ferrari actually stands a chance if it turns out Australia was just a massive headache with their setup or tire strategy.
Honestly, Bottas is probably the only piece of this puzzle that could actually rattle Lewis Hamilton. He’s the one guy who might actually get under his skin and prove just how much composure the guy actually has to fake.
Lujo didn't have any reason to get worked up about Max, Sebastian Vettel, or Ricco anyway. He already knew Mercedes would just drop it into second gear and fly past everyone like they were standing still.
Look, if Bottas starts consistently messing up in that same car, that’s a whole different story. That's when people are actually going to start losing their minds.
