Mario Andretti commented as quoted by Express.co.uk, “I’m sure that Mercedes in some ways will always favour Lewis, and justifiably so, but at the same time I’m sure George will have the same equipment. I think you’ve just got to wait for those things to unfold. We’ll see what happens.”
He added, “Well, the one that impressed me, who has really shown that he can be a future champion, is George.
“By having that opportunity in Bahrain and stepping up the way he did, and even with Williams at Spa, with the conditions… rain is always a great equaliser and he showed his skills by doing what he did there. That’s [something] to be looking forward to, how he will fare next to Lewis next year.”
