Agreed - Bottas seemed less competitive than Rosberg, it was cruise and collect for Hamilton during those years (as it is now for Max). Perez is solid but not spectacular, in many ways he's the ideal second driver for Red Bull - he's not going to challenge Max but is good enough to collect big points on a regular basis. He does seem to have bad days where he underperforms but with the car advantage Red Bull have at the moment it's not going to cost the team anything.
