Before this season I thought Red Bull should sign Russell, but I think he must be going to Mercedes next year. RB should definitely sign Bottas.

I wasnt saying Bottas is night and day better than Perez. But he is faster for sure.
Sexondly Bottas does well if he has a clean weekend. Bottas has the track record of wins and podiums that brings WCC trophies.
He is not a bad pick for redbull.
The only way i seeing him replace Perez is if Russell goes to Mercedes. Redbull seem to be in an experimental phase and may just fancy picking Bottas.
Bottas @ RB
Dude raises his middle finger to the fans and his own team, quite frankly.
Wolff paid him a fortune to get into Mercedes, he gets the best car in the field, and he can't even get close to making an impact. Meanwhile, he's getting worse and worse.
Also, Perez is in front of him in the standings, is the perfect second driver next to Max, and fits the RBR team much better.
And Bottas is not faster, that is clear.
People DO realise it's not 2016 and Rosberg isn't in the team anymore, right?
Rosberg is fast, arguably faster than Perez.
Bottas isn't even worthy to stand in Rosberg's shadow at this point.
What has Bottas done to you to trigger such animosity?
you guys are really black-and white in your perceptions.
animosity? where did you get that from.
the actual question should be asked to you yourself,
what has bottas done to get falsely worshipped into the saint status you guys are giving him.
bottas always has been mediocre, and a decent amount below Rosberg, there's not a single doubt about that.
there's only been excuses 1.0 2.0 and 3.0 and then everytime he fails he gets protection and treated like a fragile piece of glass. It's been bottas 1.0 bottas 2.0, bottas 3.0 for crying out loud and never has he ever impressed or put up even the tiniest of pressure on anybody, ever. And instead of dealing with himself and improving, he actually responds to the crowd after lucky getting a win with a 'f#ck you', he's not a gentleman, he's not classy, and he's fragile.
That all doesn't really matter though, but if the question then comes boiling down to does he deserve a seat at the Mercedes top seat - then hell no, by no means whatsoever.
It's funny also how people claim Perez is slower than Bottas whilst completely ignoring it's his first time since a long time in a completely new team with a completely new car where one has to adapt. Look how much Daniel is struggling, now look how Perez is doing. Not just that, but at the start of the season, the RB was not as mighty as it has become now compared to the Mercedes. Despite all of that, Perez is in FRONT of Bottas in the WDC standings, and worse for Mercedes: RBR is in front of Merc thanks to Perez.
And the absolute truth is also this: When Max fails, Perez is right there. Bottas however is in no means even remotely close to being there, and above all, he crumbles under the mimimum of pressure and even gets snappy publicly to the hand that feeds him. He's not delivering what he should and he dares to attack his own team. If he was fighting for the win and the nr1 position in the WDC, it would be a different story.
The worst of it all is that Bottas only got into that Mercedes seat because Rosberg unexpectedly bailed.
And even then Mercedes didn't promote him without a doubt as if he was the clear cut and obvious choice,
as if he has brought so much results. Alonso was supposedly blocked by Mercedes heads due to the sour spygate aftermath, even Wehrlein was SERIOUSLY concidered, a hothead primadonna diva who drove in a slower car that Bottas and had far less experience. The only reason in the end Bottas ended up @ Merc was due to the simple fact that Toto is in charge and Bottas falls under his management.
Bottas is and always has been a Toto puppet.
