The problem with Bottas is that he's boring. That's literally it. If he cracked jokes or frowned or maybe showed emotion we wouldn't even be talking about this. His driving is fine; he's not dangerous, he seems ok when he's out front. He's not spectacular by any means but we haven't seen much actual racing from him yet in this car.

He's less boring than Kimi, but people seem to love him

Kimi is so aggressively boring that people can't help but like him.

I'm sure Kimi would try harder if he wasn't straight up told they'll gently caress him over for vettel in a second, and if they didn't make him talk to Eddie Jordan on the podiums.

Maybe we just haven't seen enough of Bottas to judge the stupid poo poo that he says. It took Kimi a while to become endearing.

Kimi likes to party, he has a tattoo, and he also drove rally cars, so at least he shows some life. That pic of Bottas smiling at his trophy honestly made me wonder if he was mentally handicapped. :downs:

Unpopular opinion: I thought his "ha ha, gently caress me" radio call was a breath of fresh, amusing air compared to the usual hollering and screaming we get from the likes of Vettel

Bottas was born in Nastola, Finland on 28 August 1989 to Rauno Bottas and Marianne Välimaa. His father owns a small cleaning company. His mother is an undertaker. He used to have a dog named Rubens Barichello. He was educated in Heinola. Bottas served in the army briefly, which is mandatory for adult males in Finland. His military rank is Corporal.

This is one hell of a Wikipedia intro.

Oh that Nicole was Lewis's Nicole. Nicole will be there giving a concert, Nico will gently caress his gorgeous wife and Valtteri will give his cute girlfriend a big hug. Lewis will hate-jerk in his Merc green room.

It's kinda nice they're real people with real jobs. Undertaker and cleaning guy is more endearing to me than rich gently caress, which is the job description of many F1 parents.



and that's Valtteri's path to F1. For Americans, this is what the real deal looks like. Formula Renault is hardcore. GP3 is hardcore.



This is also super consistent.

Europe deffo has the better open wheel ladder series. Mazda Road to Indy has been poo poo forever, but got decent a few years back. Euro feeder series, iirc, have a lot of competition from other series up to GP2.

Also, talent pool since most American drivers want to go tin tops for the money.

Conor Daly tried, but his career is going to be like his dad's. Not sure what happened to Rossi. He could've done better if he wasn't stuck in a Marussia.
