    As a Checo fan, this is really painful to watch. Every week I hope he gets himself back together and brings the fight to Max. But it seems, more and more, that being Max’s teammate is a career killer.

    Makes me wonder if Bottas had similar pressures and just managed them better or if Lewis is just a better teammate.

      I think Lewis is a better teammate and just in general better person than max. He was constantly Valterris true friend and supporter the whole time, yea he was always crushing him on track but max has done the same on track to his mates and not been near as supportive. Maybe it’s just the Dutch vs English culture but there’s is a noticeable difference in how they’ve both acted towards teammates.

      Even when George is being a whiny shit-stick, Lewis is still nice and supportive

        My take on English attitude towards this type of situation is ‘all nice if on top but get weird if not’.
        I would not try to make Englishness a virtue which ‘explains’ things.

        Remember, this is the island of binge drinking brexit idiots, lets get some perspective on the over-hyped and mythical British ‘correctness’. This was never a thing really. It was cultivated though, creating myths is a quality they have and gladly believe.

          I’m just saying the Dutch are very blunt and the English tend to be maybe a little more fake in an effort to be nice or save peoples feelings.

        I see the “i’ll take subtle jabs at Max, while upping Lewis” culture from Reddit has found it’s way to Lemmy as well :) why would you even phrase it like this man, how silly. And then calling dutch people blunt jeez.
