    I think Toto and and Merc are in a tough spot with Russell. If they don't promote him they could lose him to another team at worst and lose his trust at best. My money is on Russel to Merc.

    Hamilton has been saying for ages there's nothing more he wants than close racing/competition. He's a multi world champion, a great driver and he should be able to handle the heat. If Russell can bring it (which I think he can) it will be an exciting season. Especially if McLaren can step it up another gear with the new car.

    HAM wants competition as long as he's winning.

    I agree on all points. Bad idea for Mercedes to make the change. Good idea for the fans.

    What's the consensus on Bottas' skill? Is he good but told by Merc to not beat Hamilton or is he just not that good outside of driving a Merc vehicle?

    I don't think he's good enough to beat half the field if they all had the same car.

    Yep, he can qualify well but doesn’t have the balls for hard racing.

    Hams biatch.

    I read recently that Toto had a talk with Valerie about taking team orders like a good girl because Hamilton was the only one with a chance of beating Max.

    I wonder what deal they have financially. Because he dropped from a p2 to a p3 without putting up a battle. I’m sure they get paid performance bonuses for finishing top 3, maybe he gets an extra bonus for spreading em…

    I know nothing about nascar... apart from they can't turn right.

    If they reversed the direction even Zoolander would be able to race...
