That is one of the highest accalade that any driver can claim in F1.

That said, he has his opinion. I bet a million bucks that if you randomly pick anyone from the Mercedes team or Ferrari Team or even the Redbull team, they would most likely have a different view on some of the things that he has said.

Unfortunately, opinion is subjective. Like noses, everyone has one.

Hence it is disappointing that you would surrender yours and blindly take whatever view that is thrusted at you.

The truth about Bottas is, he has been in the Mercedes for three seasons now and has not yet reached the level of performance of Rosberg. Considering his first two seasons were flops, 2019 was a massive improvement. But even so, he was well short of the Rosberg threshold.
Spot on. Not to mention that, also being Finnish, Mika’s opinions can hardly be counted as likely being entirely unbiased.
