Wehrlein reputation of "Mr. Know it All" is not helping him. Humility is much appreciated within a team.

It could be, but remember Mercedes guys knows him quite a bit after he was testing with them for some time and racing in the DTM

If we look back in the last season
Massa actually had beaten Bottas a lot more frequent
Bottas scores more points than Massa just because Massa's
bad luck amidst Bottas finished in a stronger position.
So, think about it.

As much as I remember Bottas has beaten Massa every year when they been teammates.
If that is luck then I hope Bottas will take that luck with him to Mercedes and continues beating his teammates :D

Bottas will take the fight to Hamilton almost as fiercely as Heikki Kovaleinen did. I believe in him so much that I truly believe he will be so great that comparisons between he & Rubens Barrichello will be made in pre-season testing's warmup laps.

7 tenths will likely still be 2nd. At least he'll rack up some podiums...

So he will be at Sauber with a Ferrari Engine?

Interesting, don't know if there will be much difference performance wise between Manor or Sauber.

Of course the future of Manor is not confirmed.

On other issues Esteban Gutierrez has said that he will drive a Formula-E car in the Formula-E Mexican GP in April. Mentions that there are very slim possibilities for driving in F1. That could spell more trouble for Manor.

I think it will be interesting to see how Bottas does, a good choice for Mercedes as he will follow direction. But as for challenging for the championship on a level playing field, I can't see it.

I'm interested to see how Willams and Mercades will do as Lowe switches. Could it make Williams more competitive, or is it just bait to get Bottas? I hope it's the former in a way.

Sadly I believe this will happen, if the changes to the cars this season haven't swung the balance away from Mercades, it'll be Hamilton somewhere in the distance and everyone else picking up the other places. Though I do see 1st corner carnage once again, wider cars, wider wheels, bye bye suspensions!

Someone who won't challenge Hamiliton - otherwise he will throw his toys out of the pram!! Max would be a could choice but too much of a threat to Louis - how about Montoya or Peter from Coronation Street!!

No I think Wehrlein is going to Ferrari, Vettel is going to buy Manor and be owner-driver, Hamilton is going retire and Barrichello will drive for Mercedes

Bottas is going to replace Rossberg and Massa is coming back to Williams. This news is over a month old already.

'Bottas' is too close to 'Button', it's obvious there was a spelling mistake in the press release and Jenson's glorious 2nd championship is imminent!

I dont think Bottas will be close competitor to Lewis in his first season with Mercedes.
