And where did that got him?
If there wasn't this huge battle for P2 between teams last year where per quarter different teams brought different succesful updates, he probably wouldn't have finished 2nd, as a lot of drivers took points from eachother from time to time depending on who's got the best updates at that moment.
For Checo having the believe that he can actually beat Max is just wishful thinking. Max is just on another level. The main thing for Checo is to concentrate on how he can drive best, not how fast Max is.
Checo's role is to be a Bottas, or a Barichello, not be a Rosberg. He's not good enough to become a WDC. There are 3 teams where the difference in talent between the two drivers is huge. RB, AMR and Williams.
With AMR and Williams it's very questionable if the #2 driver belongs in F1...
