dont forget his past relationship with James at Mercedes.
Good point
Valterri it’s James…
Valterri it's james, please sign the contract.
VALTERRI ITS JAMES IS BACK ON BABY
Bottas has PTSD from that
Valterri it's James
Remember when I gave Lewis all those wins, well I need that favor now
@@IAmLeutrimTopalliall those wins? You mean all 2? 😂 wow the injustice
@@christiansimmons630way more than 2 lol
@@IAmLeutrimTopalli Germany 2018 and Russia 2018 were the only victories Bottas was asked to give up
Also I notice how you forget Hungary 2017 when Hamilton gave them position to bottas
@@christiansimmons630 you’re forgetting all the times that Bottas was asked not to attack Lewis when Bottas was quicker
"James, it's Valterri" 📞
"Hi, Valterri. it's James"
Bottas and Albon seems like a really solid foundation to keep it clean/consistent and help develop the car in the Williams rebuild.
Gives time for Kimi to improve, Bottas is a solid driver with a background at Merc so he knows the engine, he's good with James and Albon's a done deal and he's been in the sport for a long time so he can give good feedback to improve the car.
Valtteri to Williams for 25 would be pretty perfect for Williams.
The Valterie Bottas positivity corner!
Why are people so obsessed with “out the old drivers, let new drivers”, yeah there are drivers with great potential, but that doesn’t mean that the veterans deserve it less. This is a serious sport. Not every driver has to be a 17 year old whose balls haven’t dropped yet.
Because no one stays young forever and with only 20 seats, veteran or not, it's extremely competitive to keep your seat in F1.
Bottas is showing he has pace though, even in the sh*tbox of a Sauber and I don't think anyone wants him to leave.
I would be very happy for him to join Williams and be paired with Albon.
Also. Stroll is a veteran at this point....with over 150 races now, please tell me his 'serious' reason as to why he is still in the sport???
@@xGUANdeLUPExhis dad's money💀💀he just buys a seat
When he was in the same car as Hamilton there were times he was faster over a single lap. That is saying something so I hope he gets a points scoring car next season.
Bottas is a very consistent, fast and reliable driver, rumors are Sargent is out and Bottas is in at Williams and a contract is already written up.
Valterri Bottas and Gasly are better than Ocon and Stroll for sure
He’s always been better than those 2.
Ocon beat Alonso. Why are you saying he’s similar to Stroll.
@@paperplane-db8qfocon was chanceless against alonso once he was back in his groove
@@fk4410 no and the race results and points prove otherwise. They were very evenly matched.
@paperplane-db8qf Alonso had 6 dnfs and ocon had 2 yet he barely finished 9 points above him 😂😂😂 ocon is not and will never be championship material, coming from someone who support France
Considering a shitty car and 20 second pit stops, you really can't blame him
I've never seen a team screw their drivers so completely and totally, then turn around and blame them for not performing to the point that they basically fire both of them before the season is even halfway done.
Valtteri deserves WAY better than Sauber....and I'd even go so far as to say Zhou deserves a true chance as well.
Bottas has never been that good and he continues to get worse. Zhou has never been F1 material 🙄🤦🤦♂️
@@willf1sv5 you're right...he's only won 10 races and even more podiums on top of that when he was Lewis' wingman. He MUST be utter trash.
VB would do so well at Williams. Both AA & VB are calm and have their composure. Their insights would be great for williams development path. I personally want VB to stay at F1 for years to come. He totally deserves it.
I love how it’s both realistic for Alpine to keep the same line up and to have an entirely new one
Bearman and Bottas at Haas makes sense to me
Hulk > Bottas. And he knows the team now too.
edit: You can probably see the problem 😅
@@vojtechnovacek7776 Hulk goes to Audi bro
and bearman + magnussen doesn't?
@@jest0riz0r Oh yeah, my bad 😅
Bearman + Magnussen makes sense too
All these allegations,, he’s gonna sign a 1+1 with Merc
Good to hear. Would like Albon, Bottas and Newey at Williams
Every team would take Newey. He plays bigger part than any driver.
Bottas is a really good driver. He’s been one of the few drivers who’s beat Lewis using the same equipment. Give him a good enough car and he will score wins.
What do you mean? Most of Hamilton's teammates have been faster than him at times, just not usually over the course of a season. (Not was Bottas.)
Valterri to Williams, please. We need “Valterri, it’s James” back
I’d really like to see Bottas have some success again before he’s finished in the sport
I like Bottas.
I hope he stays in F1 for many more years.
☮
Bottas was an excellent #2 at Mercedes, but I guess the Sauber shop doesn't live up to it's name lately. Not sure what changes or upgrades Sauber/Audi have planned, but at this point, I think Williams, or even Haas would be a move up.
Bottas should also be listed as a possible Mercedes driver. Kimi could be set into Williams for 1 year to allow him to develop himself before taking the Mercedes seat, making Bottas a seat warmer
Bottas wants a 2 to 3 year deal
When I see Kimi I think of Raikonnen first 🥲
Williams also wants only a driver which stays at least 2 or 3 years
Bottas isn't going back to a team that moved him on....no way is he going to be anybody's biatch for one season....
Haas need him.
He’s a great driver and I truly hope he get a better car next season
No he's not.
He’s not great he’s Perez and Hulkenberg level which is just good
@@SiegfriedDerDrachentoter not sure if I have ever seen Perez beat max on pure pace the same way Bottas beat Lewis in Australia 2019
@dangermade Because max’s car is the hardest to drive on the grid and also it was 5 years ago so Bottas hasn’t shown this pace since he left Mercedes (and even before) Anybody can be on a great day like Pastor Maldonado in Spain
@@dangermadesays more about Lewis underperforming that weekend , he only just finished a few seconds ahead of a RB in a far superior merc
I feel like what happened to bottas few years ago was unfair he lost he’s seat when a lot of different teams had signed new drivers for multi year contracts he didn’t have an option to choose from, and Sauber has been nothing but sh to be honest .
albon bottas pleaseeee
Bottas / Albon would be a solid line up for Williams. Kind of full circle for VB since that's where he started.
Hope Zhou will find a spot too.
Why? he's slow.
Zhou hasn't done anything to show that he deserves a spot. Bring in the next F2 champ instead.
This comment paid for by the CCP
@@flyingphoenix113he’s in a mid car. Nothing to show
@@therealquaid1694 Zhou 4-3 Bottas on races this season. What has Bottas done?
If i were in carge of a team he would be one of my pick ups along with a promising rookie from f2 hopefully he could take a mentor position and decrease the risk of the rookie being a bust
Bottas and Newey to Williams. Bottas WDC confirmed
I think on days when the car is bad he's totally anonymous and Zhou does at least a good job if not better. But seems to up his game when the cars better
"Valtteri, it's James, please let Alex through by the end of the lap."
Good for Valterri!
People seem to conveniently forget that in equal machinery on his best days he could beat a 7 time world champion and on the average day he was usually right behind him. He’s a really good driver who just lacks a competitive car.
Valterri plus Albon will be the best lineup Williams have had since Montoya left
Bottas to Haas with Bearman would be genius.
Not gonna lie Bearman and Bottas or Albon and Bottas makes a lot of sense
10 wins in that rocket is no achievement
No stress for Bot-Ass, Zhou on the other hand....
I can feel he would be in the Williams if Mercedes really would bet in putting Antonelli in the Mercedes.
Honestly, I would love to see him go back to Mercedes well Antonelli experience at Williams but I also think that if William are actually trying to become a serious team and not play junior de Mercedes anymore, then that would be a really good solution because I would give them two experience drivers
They need to stop depending on the veterans who haven't achieved much in the last two to three years and recruit new, young drivers. If a tire loses its grip, don't replace it with another that hardly has any grip. Get a new one.
Cause the young drivers like Zhou, Sergeant, Mick, Latifi and Mazepin have achieved so much in F1.
Tyres don't come with years of experience working on the front line. Bottas does.
Alpine? Who is going to move over Bottas? Ocon or Gasley?
Good he's underrated
Valteri will improve his chances even more if he gets rid of that mullet and caterpillar
Bottas would be good for Haas because he was a great teammate to Zhou in his rookie year, and a race winner which I don’t think they’ve had before. With Williams they just know they’ll get on fine and he’s a safe pair of hands.
Go Valterri go! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
If Valteri goes, I’m going … and I will hold my breath. So there.
Ferrari bottas maybe
Yeah didn't imagine that face with that voice
hes been driving good, sauber just keeps messing up the pitstop, they did again at imola.
Great guy, underwhelming driver
Get this man a drive
Who forgot him?? He's awesome! It's just that there are few opportunities left
Valterri in HAAS would be nice
2025: Valtteri it’s james, swap positions with Albon
If we're being honest Bottas is getting the raw end of this Audi\Sauber transition. The team has been a disaster operationally and their car is the most basic on the grid.
Alpine: hold my beer
@@CosmicSeeker69 🤣🤣🤣
He's driving really well... I think you're seeing a different season from me 😂 it's barely anything to make up for his absolutely horrifying last season and the one before that
A more motivated Kimi
Haas in NASCAR in the US is imploding
All the options with a crap menu 😅😅
Poor audio; good vid
The bots are looking hott. 🤣🤣💀
It's always that same profile pic 😂
@@thedandude ikr 🤣😋💀
Yes esp on VW and Audi
Bottas can't drive for Haas until he gets a haircut and loses that moustache.
I bet he signs with Williams
Would mercedes be in the hole they are in if they had kept him instead of Russell?
Please go to Willams
Bottas to redbull
I hope that he goes to Williams.
aand he signs with williams.
Back to Williams. 😎 It’d be like Bottas and Massa all over again.
That is disgrace , why is Dragovic sitting out for 2 years while those washed up drivers are taking spots doing mediocre job . Look Magnussen , Botas , Ricardo , Lance , ….
Hulk & Bottas? Nah. It'll be Sainz, Bearman or new. The best Formula is experienced and newer.
Williams 4 show
I still think He is gonna retire
we race face reveal
I dont think he should be in F1. Only good in qualifying and can't defend position in races. He lacks the mindset to be a good driver.
The bots are busy today, aren't they? Bottas returning to Williams, taking a big payday from a desperate Alpine, or a last stop toward retirement at Haas? Unless Sainz gets the Mercedes seat, he'll be at Audi, and that door closes
If he is having a great season it’s not obvious to idiots like me.
Here me out, Sainz to Audi, Kimi at Merc, Bottas to Red Bull, and Perez to Hass. Imagine if I'm right...
Jesus Christ 😂
No way they would give a Merc to an 18 yo rookie. Especially as he would be replacing the senior, more experienced driver in that team.
@@vojtechnovacek7776 Russel is not a rookie anymore, he needs to be able to fill Hamilton's shoes when he leaves. Something tells me he won't be able to tho, the team has been listening more to George regarding the car design and well... you can see they're only falling back.
@@vojtechnovacek7776 Mercedes is a midfield team now. They won't be fighting for the championship next year either so it wouldn't be a catastrophe if they favoured a more long-term strategy instead of needing two "proven" drivers in their cars next year. Not at all saying that they will but they do have options.
Imagine he goes back to Mercedes lol
10* wins. Would have been more if he didn't drive with Hamilton.
That is only 10 wins and he’s been driving for a rubbish team. Everyone knows he’s better.
Audi is not able to bring a top driver because the 2024 is the 1st car develop under Audi´s ownership (and the car is a dog).
I’m sorry but bottas is so baaad 😒😭 I don’t know how he’s still in F1. Way too passive and afraid to be aggressive.
Why Bottas isn't in a front running team I don't know. He's one of the best drivers on the grid. Should be at Red Bull instead of Sergio Perez.
M
He should have no options based on his pace. He should concentrate on trying to drive faster rather than trying to look cool to fill his personality void.
Bad devolopment. With al the respect but Bottas is done. We need fresh blood and new names into f1, but the cost cap makes teams go for safety.
Bottas should be removed from
F1 because of inappropriate hair. 🤪
If I would be a model police he could not get away with that hair. Years in prison..
@@embro6474 😁
I'm calling that next year Bottas will go to Mercedes, while Kimi will be in the Williams. Then for 2026, Kimi comes up cause what better time to join a team than with new regs and grid reshuffling. They'll swap and Bottas will finish his career at Williams.
Bottas is a driver that has disappointed. At Mercedes he never competed with Lewis
