For Bottas is a good thing. He will get good money, will be able to be in ads and will be able to be in the paddock and even race if any of the two gets sick. So he will be able to slow down and enjoy life For Toto is good because, he is Bottas manager.
This is good for Mercedes, not just the experience for the press, but the knowledge as a driver, and X Merc driver knowing the team, because Russell don't know nothing, and Kimi being to young and inexperience. And who knows he might even get a drive.
Average at best, he got the role because Toto is his manager and friend. People complain about Abu Dhabi 2021, but France 2021 Lewis was booted out of his chassis and told to give it to Bottas. Imagine Horner kicking Max out of his chassis this season and being told to give it to Perez. That move right there, was another reason why Lewis dropped points, he would have won at France without Bottas getting in his way.
Agreed mostly! in 2021 he let Lewis down on multiple occasions. Russia was another one of those, Max passed him like he had Blue Flags! But i think he has more than average race and quali pace, but gets bullied wheel to wheel by almost everyone!
@DavidJohnson-dc8lu I think 2021 was quite out of character for Bottas he acted like the 3rd RB Driver sometimes, except Hungary! So much of that season just didnt feel right then and even more so now. Its like even Mercedes didnt want Lewis to win. Poor strategies in France,Texas,Hungary etc. etc. Everyone the Teams, Brundle, R Schuhmacher, where like he we go last round shoot out, 3-4 laps before it actually happened, while knowing it wasnt possible via the rules.
That Mercedes is going to be fast. Cause Bottas is a supreme technician. The way he setup his cars and driving technique is great. I really love his driving style. Lewis should have stayed. This going to be interesting
Bottas, has recently stated that he has finally accepted that he was never good enough on a consistent basis to beat Lewis, especially when it came to fighting for Championships.
I do not have anything against Bottas, however he must acknowledge one thing, and that is, he is not "Challenger or Hunter". Very simple... A very good reunification with his best friend "George The Woody Russell".. Good Luck..
Between Bottas, Russell and Antonelli Bottas is a stand out F1 driver. Fantastic driver.
Really happy you are back! I’m wearing your Alfa Romeo hat right now!

Didier Coton is Valtteri’s manager, not Toto.
@lilyjones8145 When did he changed? Toto was his manager at Williams.
@@lilyjones8145Bottas has been linked to Toto since he was 17 years old - Mentor and/or Manager, so none of this is should be seen as strange.
@ Toto was part of Valtteri’s management team, not his manager
@@lilyjones8145 He was the one that put him at Williams and Mercedes and I recall reading he had conflict of interest
Toto knows that between Kimi and George he doesn't have a strong competitive team. He has taken Bottas for damage control. Clever move.
Lewis has something to do with Bottas returning to Merc and staying in F1.
It's a win-win. Bottas is not an unknown factor to Mercedes and vice-versa. Shouldn't have shown him the door the first time.

@@double10performance27 Then he goes around calling himself a great team mate. Yeah for those half asleep.
@@double10performance27 Remember when he tried to hold Lewis up at Spain too lol

As long as the con/tract is more than a yearly rollover

Happy for him!
Russell, on his way out...
Merc wants a driver from their Glory Days
Bottas , I can beat Lewis, but to beat him over a season in the same machinery, is another level .
Best wishes to V B he still has it.
Bottas, has recently stated that he has finally accepted that he was never good enough on a consistent basis to beat Lewis, especially when it came to fighting for Championships.
@@jamtalawah2231 Yep 👍. Like him or dislike him, Lewis is a machine, he turns up for every race weekend .
Raspect.
Happy for Bottas, hoping he gets into a competitive car
Where did that get Mic Schumacher? Bottas is a great driver, but if he was in the US, we would say he just moved to Florida.
Happy for him! Especially after three years in the under developed and under performing Sauber / Stake / to be Audi.
I do not have anything against Bottas, however he must acknowledge one thing, and that is, he is not "Challenger or Hunter".
Very simple...
A very good reunification with his best friend "George The Woody Russell"..
Good Luck..
Botas not. Reserv driver. Hi. N1. Driver. Mersedes. Better than Russell and antoneli
