Albon is no better than Latifi. If Albon was in the Williams, he would be in the same position as Latifi always finds himself in. Latifi would be doing what Albon is doing in the RedBull, occasionally 4th, but usually 6-12th.

We can safely say the same about Bottas.

You think Albon would be P2 in the championship ? and you think Albon and Latifi would be 2 tenths off Lewis ?

GOAT, sublime. Enjoyed that qualifying.

Ric is great, ruined Ocon's mercedes dreams this season.

I am sad about Pink Mercedes. They could have been forcing Redbull for second with a better driver lineup. That car is quick.

Bottas is good at qualy. VEry very good actually. He is facing literally the best of *all* time.

Yeah but plenty seem to think he's not good enough for F1 and should be sacked. He's much closer to the best of all time, than Albon is to Max. Or Latifi is to Russell.

One of those weekends where Lewis is on it, gotta feel for Bottas. Let's see what happens tomorrow because overtaking is very possible here. Enjoying the mid field battle immensely.

Will that .4 advantage be there tomorrow? Verstappen mentioned they made some compromises to improve tire life which likely cost them a few tenths in quali. I think he can beat Bottas tomorrow, Hamilton may be a tall ask, if the tires hold out better on the RBR he may have a shot. Glad Albon qualified well.

What we saw when Massa was at Williams was that Bottas and Massa were pretty evenly matched. Bottas is no Alonso, he's no Verstappen, he's a very good driver on the same level of prime Massa.

Yes. In those Mercedes cars, anyone can put clean laps. Bottas would certainly struggle as much as Albon and Latifi to beat Max and Russell.

No one is saying Bottas would beat Max or Russell, not sure where you get that from ? Bottas would 100% be closer to Max that Albon is.

I don’t think so. He would likely be further off. You are underestimating what Max is doing. Year after year. He made Gasly look por as well.

I think both are i.e. Albon and Gasly suffering to bring the Tyre in working temperature in qualifying. Thats why we see big time differences.

The AT is more suitable for Gasly driving style and he is shining well. If RB promote him back to RB we will see same performance as Albon thats why they are not bringing him back.
