Hamilton/Bottas Q3 compare

[Nick Hill]

Really cool video:

It's fascinating as a sim racers to see where they gain/lose time relative to one another. It's equally fascinating to see how incredibly close the margins are - and this comparison being between a driver widely regarded as great and a driver widely regarded as being somewhat meh...and yet they are never more than .1 secs apart!

I've often wondered if maybe F1 is sometimes *too* precise for casual viewers. The cars are so finely tuned, the drivers are so superlatively precise...while that can be awesome and awe inspiring, at the same time it can feel kind of bland.

Botass was/is considered a very good driver by experts while at williams especially - scored a lot more points than massa every single year. Social media such as facebook and this place to a lesser degree has now concluded he's useless, simply because there is an anti-hamilton sentiment going on; obsessed with "who's the nicest guy to talk to" instead of driver quality.
Happened to Rosberg too - a world-class driver who beat schumacher convincing - got no credit on here, because beaten by hamilton...
