    So tell me, when did Button beat Hamilton for the WDC?

    You must be 10 or younger?

    Whoops! You are correct. Well done on the personal attack. At least you were somewhat gentle.

    Here's a fun fact, though... Overall points: Hamilton 657, Button 672

    Ah, the aggregate 3 year points table that has no meaning.

    How about Hamilton beating Button in 2 out of their 3 seasons partnered?

    A 1-month ban (expiring after the Turkish GP) of @Wass85 has been applied for personal attacks and trolling. Reconsider participating with more good faith, or you won't be a participant here in future.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    So you joined Ferrarichat to impose your will onto others and to change their minds.

    He has not really lost his wingman, the FIA are still around making sure any protests against Mercedes never go anywhere.

    I was rooting for Botas; I mean for anything else to add some excitement to the Hamilton Re-runs. I can't blame Toto/MB, though - Bottas is not that good. He's had his chance, definitely had sparks of brilliance, but inconsistency sealed his fate.

    Toto helped him zero with 1 year contracts. Thats utter mis-management to begin with. The more it is debated the more it favored LH if not overtly.
    Had he offered a 2 year deal after year 1 we might have seen something better overall. Compared to others he is quick enough in qualy and consistently was on the podium. Far from a terrible career. Perez would like to have his numbers lol.

    You can see how bad RedBull are overall with management - they were after Norris this year. They approached him even after he signed his new Mclaren deal. Yes thats faith in Perez alright yes?? LOL!!

    I really noticed this year some of Bottas’s positioning of the car on the track was shockingly bad. Like he doesn’t really have awareness of defending tactics and lacks wheel-to-wheel racing instincts.

    I think it was at Azerbaijan this season that I really noticed it though. He was in the worst possible place for lap after lap and just got swamped and passed by loads of cars - and this on a street circuit where it’s narrower and generally harder to pass.

    It helps being in the fastest car

    Not sure how that translates in ''Red Bull is bad in management". Norris declined his very good seat where it looks like he's claimed number 1 position to drive alongside Max...who has destroyed his past 3 teammates and making a clear step in his final year alongside Ricciardo, that the latter left.
