That would be quite ironic.... made and slayed by billionairesDoubleFart wrote: ↑2 years ago If that came true, two things would happen.
1 Hamilton would finally lose his luck, and Stroll would sneak the title.
2 I'd stop watching F1 because after 25 years, a billionaire would have ruined it.
I guess in F1 though its never sorted until you have a contract. And as Sergio knows even that is not always a guarantee.“Obviously, the sooner you know your future, the better,” Perez said.
“But I’m in a very comfortable position within the team, within my future, so nothing to worry about.
“I think by Belgium, I will know my future. So I’m comfortable with how things are and no reason to look elsewhere.”
Yes Yes and Yes.
Well, the year ain't over. For whatever reasons, they have had problems getting to term with their cars and matching their teammates. I don't think Norris is really that much better than Ricciardo (if he is better) and I don't think Perez is that much slower than Verstappen (remember when Ricciardo used to outqualify him in the same car).
If Mercedes are looking to the future, both Sergio and Bottas are the same age (31) whereas George is 23. Knocking George back at this stage I would think renders them likely to lose George to another team. Its one thing to be kept in the wings in waiting as he has, but very different to being overlooked in favour of another driver ie Sergio.DoubleFart wrote: ↑2 years ago I wonder if the Mercedes "We'll decide over summer break" coincides with this announcement, and the play off is actually Russell v Perez.
I wasn't clear, I meant that I wonder if the Red Bull second driver is between Russell and Perez. I think Max would accept a strong teammate because he's very confident in how good he is, and knows he's better off beating Russell from within.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑2 years agoIf Mercedes are looking to the future, both Sergio and Bottas are the same age (31) whereas George is 23.

personally I think if Bottas is out of Merc it will be for George. Sergio I believe will stay where he is ar RB.
I reckon with George in and then when Lewis decides to bail in a couple of years Merc with give Lando an offer he cant refuse. Lando and George could be a great long term pairing to have for the future
