    Valteri: "Why not?"

    Mercedes seriously underestimated the hard tyres.

    They can't blame the engine problem, Bottas had two full FP's to play with.

    That rattle on Perez made my IPTV blip

    At least Sir Lewis nicked the fastest lap at the end.

    Damage limitation.

    Gasley P4. Perez did alright considering at P8.

    Gasley is the best driver in the world that isn't in a top seat.

    So according to Toto we might get a Russell announcement at Monza: "Waiting for the paperwork to be signed".

    It's official:

    Following Valtteri Bottas’ departure to Alfa Romeo Racing, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has today announced that George Russell will be team-mate to Lewis Hamilton from 2022.
    In the "not really that important" news is the story that the chinkies might be buying a seat at Alfa Romeo.

    According to RMC Motori correspondent Paolo Ciccarone, the favourite is a front-running Formula 2 driver from China, Guanyu Zhou – although other media reports suggest there are four other candidates.
    The publication said Zhou is poised to replace Antonio Giovinazzi thanks to EUR 30 million promised to the Swiss-based team by his sponsor.

    Excellent. Russel is a young hotshot and he's gonna drive his way to the number one seat. He and Hamilton will have a falling out by the first few races. Hamilton never gets along with a competitive teammate.

    Just because you wish something to happen, does not necessarily make it so. You will have to wait until next season anyway, new regulations and all.

    Why wouldn't it be Hamilton/Alonso or Hamilton/Rosberg days again ? Russel isn't a #2 driver

    But yes you are right. For all we know , Mercedes days of domination could be over. That's what happens with big reg changes.

    Michael Schumacher, Jimmy Johnson, Dale Earnhardt , AJ Foyt and Richard Petty all won 7 championships. But not 8. So Hamiltons chances aren't good

    Yet again you are posting about something you don’t understand. Only one of those drivers was a champion in F1.

    Hamilton and Russell are at opposite ends of their careers. Both are supremely talented drivers. The team they are driving for is looking for constructor points, with the added kudos of one of them winning the world title. Mercedes don’t care which one wins, as long as it’s one of theirs.

    They are on opposite ends but they are still both #1 drivers.

    You might save yourself some time if you simply wait to see if he ever posts about something he does understand.

    Have you never heard of "team orders" then?

    Which is exactly what Mercedes need. Russell will probably need a season or two, but he has enough talent to take over from Hamilton. Bottas has been an excellent number 2 driver over the past seasons but would never be able to take over from Hamilton.

    Russell showed in Bahrain what he can do with the Merc. As long as we don't get the Rosberg/Hamilton madness, he'll be free to race as he wishes.

    And don't be under any illusions that Toto wouldn't tell Sir Lewis to let him past if it's needed.

    (Whether he would or not, of course, is another matter).

    ... is not always true.

    That's why there is a thing called team orders.
