Two of the most underrated drivers in Formula 1 Hampered by their incompetent teams and bad luck for the past seasons but are still performing at a high level. Yet many journalists claim they are “blocking seats”.
Hulkenberg is extremely adaptable and is still quite quick. The gaps he has dunked on Magnussen are very impressive. He was also within a tenth off Ricciardo in 2019 and schooled Sainz in 2018. Last year he drove really well with a tyre chewing Haas.
Contrary to popular belief, Zhou is not matching Bottas. VB had a median quali advantage around 0.4s in 2023 & was almost always better on sundays but was plagued with car damage or terrible strategies. Still got a decent WDC result in what was the draggiest & slowest car of 23’.
@thef1content bottas got walked by lewis and is now beating an asian marketing merchant, that’s like if you put perez in an shit seat with de vries as his teammate and saying he’s one of the most underrated drivers
@thef1content Bottas for me is overrated , especially in race , I barely see him fighting for points and even a rookie Zhou is giving him troubles , who himself is nothing much to talk about
@thef1content Underrated….. has Nico had a podium since being in #F1 ? Kevin last podium was 2014.. Haas has had bad leadership but they have both been in the sport a long time with other teams as well not just #Hass
@thef1content Bottas was overrated from beginning, people just wanted new "Flying Fin" or something like that. Hulkenberg, he is driver that HAAS needs at the moment, expirienced and motivated.
