Hulk?

I still hold out hope for Russell in a Merc. If not him, Hulk gets my vote.

Pretty good analysis of the crash.

If Russell gets the shot, it would be a high-risk/high-reward situation. Expectations will be lowered, of course, but if he doesn't get on the podium, it will gas up the Russell doubters. If he doesn't match Bottas, it will be the same. Both would be unfair, but I guess only he knows if the chance to shine is worth the risk.

If Mercedes were still trying to secure the WCC, my bet would be on Hulkenberg, but since it means almost nothing to them other than pride, I could see it going to Russell or Vandoorne.

Mercedes confirmed it’s going to be George. If he doesn’t score a point now, he’s never scoring a point.

I like Palmer in his analysis. Very sound.

This is going to be a fun weekend. Funny waking up and getting my news at sf.

Who is getting the Williams seat?

Williams reserve Jack Aitken will replace Russell at Williams, joining regular driver Nicholas Latifi.

Good to see Mazepin getting a drive. F1 needs more level-headed, reasonable characters around...

Also good to see drivers coming from a humble upbringing as well

Has anyone looked up the odds on Russell winning this weekend? I'm genuinely excited for the race since something different is going to happen!

Young George has Valtteri on the ropes...

 

[bdavro23]

Russell to win, Bottas to be in second the whole race after getting passed at the start, only to DNF with a mechanical with a few laps to go. Verstappen to come second and whine like a little bitch after the race.

Oh, and Albon to get lost, with Sainz following him...
