Listened to the Bottas interview on Beyond he Grid. His honesty makes him an incredibly likable dude. No doubt Merc will miss him for what he didn’t bring to table, no ego and no drama. Hammy will miss him the most.
It’s clear Toto/Hammy handled Bottas emotionally every step of the way, the way bottas sometimes exhibits Stockholm syndrome traits, Toto used to tell him “pressure is good, turns coal into diamonds” supporting consecutive 1 year deals. This explains why he prefers his time with Williams over Merc.
Hopefully his time with Alpha will allow him to end on a high note, independent of race wins.
