    Time for Bottas to throw the 'shield' he was given by Totto to protect Lewis right back at them next season.
    Hopefully he gets a car that can compete.

      You mean doing what every wingman does in F1. If Bottas had the pace of Lewis, he wouldn't need to be a shield. Regardless, Bottas is a top driver on the grid.

    I'm happy for Valtteri. The obvious difference between how the teams reacted and treated Valtteri and Lewis the last few years was pure disrespectful to Valtteri.

    As an underdog fan this guy is my favorite driver. Glad he still has quali records to remind Mercedes of their years of mistakes now.
