Huh, where have I heard that before...

Oh yeah, Rosberg to Schumacher, Riccardo to Vettel, Vettel to Webber, Button to Hamilton, Hamilton to Alonso, Senna to Prost, etc.

Edit: I think odds are you're right, Bottas won't be a huge challenge to Hamilton, but we've been surprised before. Bottas is a solid driver and I think Massa's bad rap is undeserved, I bet in equal machinery Massa would still outperform a significant portion of the field. He's had the bad luck of being paired with top 3 drivers almost his entire career and in crap cars for half of it. Someone who can top Massa deserves a modicum of respect in my book, we will see how good a benchmark that was very soon.
