A friend of mine put money on him the day Lewis was announced as missing this race to win. Only a daft quid.He’s yet to record a single point in the Williams after 37 races.
Yet today in Lewis’s car he tops the charts in both FP1 and FP2.
Quali will be interesting.
Surely this now shows how ridiculously dominant this merc is and why F1 needs to bring back parity.
Imagine is George out paces bottas tomorrow.It would have been interesting to see him against Lewis side by side to really see the difference. It is partially backing up what we’ve seen for a long while.
1. Russell is a much better driver than his current car is showing although we keep getting glimpses of his talent with his constantly good performances in qualification, especially evident against latifi.
2. Bottas is run of the mill and his performance, or lack of, in a car he has been driving for 3 years against someone who has drove it for 3 hours is massively highlighting this. Poor temperament too sinking under pressure. Must be a big doubt for a renewal after next year if what has happened today is continued for the next 2.
Tried to do the same thing but they had it suspended before I could get the bet through. They will still try to find a way out of paying I’m sureA friend of mine put money on him the day Lewis was announced as missing this race to win. Only a daft quid.
5000/1.
Go on George lad.
Engine modes mapping were scrapped earlier in the season mate now it’s one mode all weekendyou never know what engine modes they used,
Probably. He's a massive F1 nut and put the bet on as soon as they announced on twitter Lewis had tested positive. Lucky guess. Think it's Bottas' race to lose personally.Tried to do the same thing but they had it suspended before I could get the bet through. They will still try to find a way out of paying I’m sure
Yep see how good that merc is with or without himMaybe we'll find out now how good Hamilton is.

Delighted for George but it does now widen the debate surely.
Yup, when Russell wins his seventh championship we can start to question Hamilton’s achievements.Maybe we'll find out now how good Hamilton is.
Well said that man. I think the fact that Russell is Mr Saturday shows that he’s no slouch. Can position a car spot on (when not crashing trying to warm up his tyres) so he’ll be super quick in a car that actually has some aerodynamic grip.Don't think anyone is debating that Mercedes currently has the best car.
Lewis Hamilton is the best driver in the best car, consistently. Put him in every other car and he might not win but would do better than their current drivers.
I hope Russell wins, it would give him a huge chance of replacing Hamilton when he does retire.
