    Whatever you might say about his racing skills, but he is a very rare breed of drivers who has constantly put the team and its harmony above themselves and that takes some serious strength of character.

    2022: (Valtteri leading in an Alfa) "Valtteri, it's James. Let Lewis past you or we will ensure you will be replaced"
    *poor Valtteri

      I will feel bad for George if he is actually faster than Lewis in 2022, but the team favors Lewis and destroy George career. George need to go all out and beat Lewis from the start.

    I'm happy for Valtteri. The obvious difference between how the teams reacted and treated Valtteri and Lewis the last few years was pure disrespectful to Valtteri.

    I met Bottas at the airport along with Mika hakkinen, Toto, and Max, after Bottas won the 2019 Austin gp, it was my first gp, and I’ll never forget it, all nice dudes, luck was on my side

    Bottas is underrated, hope to see more of his action at Alfa.
