What do you think of Bottas' performance this season in relation to Rosberg in previous seasons? Is Bottas making Rosberg look better than people gave him credit for?

I think there's definitely an element of that in play. Bottas hung on in there through the first 9 rounds or so, but has completely dropped off the wagon since the break.
I always said Nico Rosberg was a LOT better than we gave him credit for, and now he's moved on, I think we've stopped looking at him like a scapegoat for Lewis and realised he was a lot better than we thought at the time.

If you could only have one, what would you choose - Snapchat or Instagram?

Doesn't matter. Every major social media site has tried so hard to be unique they've all ended up exactly the fucking same.

Worked at William Hill for a while now, what's the most valuable thing you've learned from your experience so far?

If I had to pick one, it would definitely be learning how to cope in handling people.
Being born with Asperger's, bullied at school, socially awkward, I've kind of had to learn to roll with the punches because retail work and customer service is all I've ever known, so dealing with regular customers in the shops I've worked in, dealing with often angry, emotional or confrontational people, and in the last 6 months I've been managing, dealing with colleagues, how a shop is meant to be running, conflict, shit like that. It's an ongoing thing, and it can be really difficult, but I take a lot of pride in my work and that's what motivates me to keep going.

How does someone become a guest on Motorsport 101? It is purely just having friends or open to others to possibly expand conversations more?

Yes and no. The thing with us is, we've never had to search too hard to find guests or potential guests due to social media. The pool's always been there. We've actually been approached by people outside of that to be on the show... never quite materialised right, so I'm a little reluctant to really venture out per ce... But if the right person asked, and we think they could bring something unique to the show, we're open to it.
And hey, I personally have definitely wanted more variety in the people we have on, so...

So do you believe the hype in Lonzo?

Short answer.... Not really. And that's only because the "hype" was bloviated by Lavar Ball*.
*Note: I don't blame Lavar for hyping the shit out of his sons. Any father blessed enough to have three sons who could all be NBA quality would also spend as much time as possible hyping the SHIT out of them. If you think otherwise, I reckon you're lying.
Anyway, LaVar is a walking hot-take maker because he knows the sports culture world we live in THRIVES off of it. First Take. Debate shows everywhere, quotes being the focus of sports news, all that shit. So Lonzo got a ridiculous, bloviated sense of hype, so living up to that, when ESPN was saying he was already better than Carmelo Anthony without playing a MINUTE of NBA basketball that mattered... Yeah, good luck.
I think Lonzo will be fine. He's a great athlete, good passer, and I think the jumping mechanics will be ironed out in good time. Just the combo of his Dad, and playing in LA (Which is one of the league's bigger markets), means expectations are probably way higher than they should be.

Curry 4....Ye or Nah?.....your Nba champion prediction and MVP?

Think the Curry 4 is the best one's he's had so far, really like them.
I think Golden State will get it together and retain (Again. *sigh*), and I have a good feeling Giannis will end up with MVP, given I think OKC will be a little too good for Westbrook to get as many votes given he now has Oklahoma have George and Melo.

What's next on your scale helmet collection wish list?

I already have Alonso's Indy 500 and Jenson Button's Abu Dhabi 2016 helmets pre-ordered. Want to get Kimi Raikkonen's 2016 and Lewis Hamilton's 2017 at some point, then I think I'll be done for now.

Why do you think you are above hitting the gym?

Takes time out of my busy schedule of heating up my food and hot-takes in the microwave.

Why do you use terms like "we" when talking about F1 fans?

Because we as F1 fans are human beings, and we often generalise, even when we don't mean too.
