Even his COVID timing is pretty much perfect

Looks like Merc want Russell back but need Williams to agree. If not it will be Vandoorne who gets the seat for the weekend

 

[Carrotdude]

I’d love for George to get a go but I can’t see it.

 

[Kenny]

George has the Merc seat.

 

[Carrotdude]

Brilliant news, hope he manages to show what he can do. Jack Aitken to race for Williams. This is the weird short Bahrain race isn’t it?

 

[Kenny]

Yeah, expecting laps around the 56 second mark

 

[The Bear]

I'd much rather see Russell driving, but Vandoorne must be pissed off. What's the point being the reserve driver if they're never going to use him?

 

[Kenny]

Mick Schumacher confirmed for Haas next year

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It will be rather amusing if Russell out performs Bottas.

 

[Tredman]

Lets see if he can live up to the hype - unlikely I think

 

[Carrotdude]

He’s very unlikely to jump straight in and match Bottas but that doesn’t mean he’s not a good driver, some people seem to want him to fail which is bizarre.

 

[Kenny]

When he was doing the test runs last year he was getting quicker times that Bottas but race time is different.

Doubt he will out gun Bottas or Max after just 3 sessions and quali in the car. Target must be podium or just finally get some points.

 

[Carrotdude]

He’ll have to go some to keep up his quali record this week for sure!

 

[Kenny]

He gets excited when he drags the piece of crap Williams into Q2 so he will doing a lap of honour if he gets into Q3

 

[The Bear]

This'll be the weekend when Hamilton's engine goes then.

 

[jlo]

I think he'll find it highly frustrating to go back to Williams if he can deliver from the off. Lewis's £45m contract negotiation might be interesting...

 

[Kenny]

Whilst only P1 good to see George putting in some quick times. Spent the first part getting used to the car but since then has put his foot down and is challenging Max and co on the quickest times

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Mighty impressive even if it is only praco.

 

[Tredman]

What is wrong with Bottas - thats got to be very embarasing.

 

[Kenny]

Love that he is having to wear boots 1 size to small so he can fit in the car. Still not happy with his stearing wheel set up or his seat and still gets the quickest time
