Concerning George Russell's drive for mercedes, do you think
Hamilton's mechanics had anything to do with the debacle of the
pit stops??
After all ,Lewis is a very rich guy ??

I find it boring that the results of a race are pre ordained don't you?
The only excitement now is if someone has an accident !!

But for a few years now that seems to be unattainable , with the
possible exception of Ferrari ? Due mainly to the availability of
adequate funding !! Mercedes seems to be the wealthiest of the
manufacturers with red bull completely reliant on sponsors and so
vulnerable to the vagaries of commerce ?
Perhaps the cars should be de- teched to reduce costs and put
more onus on driving ability ??

favours Max, the Daimler boss favours Russell !
It also says that Lewis has never had any say in who teams with him?
So it just depends on which magazine you read?
Here's looking forward to a good season!!
