So you believe everything an F1 team boss says at face value do you?

Wolff has said time and time again how much 'easier' or 'happier' it has been in the team with Lewis and Bottas.

Of course it has, Lewis has had it all to himself for the most part.

I like Bottas, he is definitely a quality driver but he will not get the opportunity to go for a title whilst Lewis is there, whether he is up to it or not.
