Toto Wolff on George Russell
The Mercedes team boss firmly denies that being the case. Wolff said (translated via Google), “He will definitely play a role in our future line-up.
“He just has to have trust and patience. Today we are concentrating on our two drivers, Valtteri and Lewis. This is our regular team. We will see what the future brings.”
It’s difficult to envisage the Silver Arrows pursuing with Bottas beyond the season. The Finn is now on the wrong side of thirty and after 4 seasons hasn’t displayed the necessary competence to beat Hamilton or even challenge him on a regular basis.
Russell represents a younger option and a chance to blood a new generation so that they can continue their dominance over the next decade. Alongside Hamilton, Russell could learn the ropes and could then go on to take over the mantle.
