But let's be honest : BOt was sometimes really fast over one lap in QF ..
But pure racecraft ?
He never had that...

He was frustrated by his short term contracts and the stress it out him under, not the fact that Merc treated him like garbage. Merc always let bot try to challenge for the drivers title, the only time they started to do team orders is when one driver is so far ahead of the other and needs the wins to lock in the champion ship during tight seasons.
Yeah Bot did have some race pace and consistency issues. You saw on the first race he messed up the start and it caused him to drop alot of places in which he had to regain, this was pretty common during his time with Merc too.
