I'm hearing a lot about Bottas getting the axe at Mercedes.

For what result?

Not saying it won't happen, but Merc is leading the championship and Bottas isn't struggling. He was sitting on pole and would possibly have finished 2nd had the exhaust sensor not knocked his race off.

I have seen the reports, but that is crazy to think this early in the season. GR is the future and will do great. But that is a gamble putting GR in a car not built around him. Going to be some issues to overcome.

You know it’s easy to blame the likes of bottas and albon who seemingly underperform compared to their team mates but there’s a pecking order and they don’t get the same team attention until they prove to be consistently faster. I’m watching Perez closely to see if he can do better than Albon did. Can’t be easy for them.

“I know that I’m not going to be replaced in the middle of the season,” said Bottas. “As a team, we don’t do that.

“I have a contract for this year and I believe there’s only one team that does that kind of things in F1 and we’re not that.”
