Bottas has now been Lewis' teammate for almost 4 years and scored 9 wins and 16 poles. Lewis has won 42 wins and 37 poles as Bottas' teammate..

So, when compared to their GOAT teammates, Rubens and Bottas seem to have similar track records. Yet Bottas is getting a lot of heat for perceived underperforming but I can't remember the same thing for Rubens.

Any thoughts on this guys?
This does make one think about BOT's future, for sure. Perhaps the advent of the hyper-engagement in social media, computer access has changed how we can communicate and share our thoughts in just a nano-second.
