Trulli was a monstrous qualifier, but my point is that Alonso never should've lost to him, and unsurprisingly he didn't lose in 2003 when he was actually good.I also regard Trulli was one hell of a driver, though not consistent enough or sometimes at the wrong place at the wrong time. I had hopes for Bottas as I really liked him at Williams but so far he’s a little bit disappointing. Would be good to see him challenge Hamilton as Rosberg did last year.
As for Bottas, again, give it time. His first half is much more representative of his pace than his second half so far if Mercedes' history is anything to go by, and this year they couldn't just make both cars equal because of Vettel so they were in a much more precarious position than they were with the HAM-ROS lineup. I do wonder what Wehrlein could've done in that car though.
