He took the blame for the incident in T1 and apologized to each driver.
For the most part, every time he is interviewed, Lewis is brought up as a comparison.
He may be in a dominant car, but he is also against one of the best drivers of all time and is destined to be outclassed in the large majority of races.
Until this year, he does manage to grab the points for the team in most cases and picks up the win when Lewis doesn't.
He has been in a visibly difficult mental struggle with this role for 4 years now and still gives it his all even in the face of being the butt of many jokes and constantly fighting for his seat.
I want GR to get his seat next year, but part of me feels for VB. I think he has had the hardest job around in F1 for the past few years and deserves our respect no matter what happens going forward.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
He's certainly getting the short end of the deal. To me he feels like the fall boy
