Bottas is still performing very well but his lack of wins since Baku is what is making it look like he is slipping. His race now is with Verstapenn and Leclerc, all of which has won two races each and are within touching distance of 2nd in the drivers championship.

The Bottas 2.0 reputation would be intact if he manages to maintain 2nd in the championship at the end of the season. If he can win the driver's title somehow, he would attain a legendary status of the greatest comeback of all time.
