I feel Ricciardo in his prime years at RB was better than Bottas.

Bottas barely defended against anyone during his time at Mercedes.

Bottas qualified really well, which is exactly what you need when you have a fast car as you can sail off into the distance.

I mean I'll certainly agree to Alonso, Button, and Rosberg since they're champions. But I would say Ricciardo was tougher against Max than Valtteri against Lewis.

Yep, Mercedes dominance was dull after Rosberg noped out.

Someone has learned the art of shit stirring from Horner

Or you just aren’t as dominant as Max? Relax man. Enjoy your legacy.

He'll relax when he has retired. While you're actively racing if you're going to be the best you have to believe deep down that you are the best. Of course he's not going to say that he's had easier teammates than Max even if it were true.

Even if true none were actual competition so doesn't really matter if someone is not competition or really not competition

World champions Alonso, Button, and Rosberg weren’t “actual competition?”
