    Rather typical misleading headline. Not quite what he said at all.

    "Of course I have to believe that, of course I believe that when I'm at
    my best I know I can be better than him," Bottas told Sky Sports F1 when
    asked if he though he was a better driver than Hamilton.

    That means he thinks that when at his own best he can be better than
    HAM, which is clearly the case.

    What he said does not necessarily mean that BOT thinks he can be better
    than HAM when HAM is at his best.
