As if we didn't know after the seat fitting. I'm looking forward to Bottas getting his first win!

In Australia he'll still be trying to figure out how the steering wheel works. Nico was a very cerebral man, not going to be easy to figure out how all his buttons worked. I mean Nico even had a hard time with them. Barcelona? |

I just learned Toto Fox was part of Bottas' driver management team. Until signing him up, to have no "crossovers".
Change title to Lewis VS Bottas&Wolf.

Nothing to worry about Ham, Toto is no longer part of Bottas' mangagement team and therefore will be no conflict of interest. Toto is a honest trustworthy guy from what i hear. |

I mean Nico even had a hard time with them. Barcelona? Williams uses Mercedes electronics, steering wheels and functions are very similar. Difference is in the actual macro behind the button. He'll know how to get to "Strap Mode 4", but not what it does. Bottas should come out flying, but I think he'll be more conservative for the fly away races. |

Don't panic Mr. Mainwering! Bottas 'won't panic' if Lewis is faster than him. He hopes to seize the chance of being in the best car with a three time world champion and the benchmark driver as his team mate. He hopes it will be a an opportunity to learn and he recognises the learning curve will be steep. www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/14045I'm liking Bottas' attitude so far, I know it's early days............and I quite liked Rosberg at the start. I guess after Button anything was an improvement. But even at the beginning Rosberg was saying things like....... ..' I don't have to prove anything, I've beaten Schumacher'. |

I'm not entirely sure this thread will see a lot of traffic.
We may actually have someone else in 2nd place this year which will tighten up the WDC massively. Then again, there's a possibility that Ferrari did get it right and They'll be the ones shooting for a 1-2.
I wouldn't bet on that though.

The last time Ferrari "got it right" was in
Can't think of anything. I started watching since 1998, and all I saw was a very gradual improvement from 1998 till 2000, and then bitch about Mercs beryllium technology and 3rd pedal, and then dominate the sport from 2001. Now their bitching talent isn't as useful as before.
