I'm glad this thread has finally seen the light and admitted Nico was prety decent. Maybe one day everyone will come to their senses and admit that Max is poo poo as well.

Part of me wonders if Bottas's struggles are from having to deal with a car that can actually accelerate, vs whatever Williams slapped together around the Merc engine.1500quidporsche posted:I'm glad this thread has finally seen the light and admitted Nico was prety decent.

Naw we got to see his driving from both his and the car behind's camera and he was just all round mediocre with flashes of really bad.

Toto to Bottas as he's getting out of the car: "That was a pretty good Ray Charles impression."

No, and no. Nico was quick in clear air but had abysmal wheel-to-wheel racing skills. He was like, and in a sense literally was, a back-marker talent wise who put in a lot of work to make up for a lack of raw talent. He beat a Lewis who thought he could zero-effort a season and still win, and ended up being resoundingly beaten by Lewis again at the end of the season when Lewis got his game somewhat back on. That Nico+Mercedes was enough to be WDC says more about Merc dominance and Hamilton petulance and effort than it does about Nico. Any legit "I think he's the best driver" Nico fans still need brain surgery ASAP before it gets worse and they root for Bottas.

Been watching motorsport replays all day and during Super ANIME GT, all the hondas were having issues. Commentator said the engine in the NSX is developed by the same people who are doing the F1 engine. How can they be so bad at making engines?

Nico made me gain a lot of respect for him in 2016. He's not a particularly great driver but he worked hard, capitalized on his opponents mistakes, and drove smart in order to win.

Hell yes that last GP was brilliant for F1, hated Ham for backing him up but fair enough it added to the suspense, havnt felt like that in a GP since Vet Web and ALO in Abby Dabby

Probably the most amount of straight up 'gently caress you' spirit he's ever shown on track. He normally fannies around doing his warfare in the media.

I remember Nico almost melting down on team radio and asking if they could have Lewis just let him past. I still don't know if that was politely asking Toto to yell at Lewis or if he genuinely didn't know why he was going so slow.

No. I believe if a driver commits to a team, it is a bit like disappearing with another girlfriend halfway through the year and then coming back. It doesn't seem the right thing to be doing."
