No Lewis this weekend, he’s got Corona Plague
Whose the lucky driver who'll get a go in that car?
Probably comes with sponsors.
Aye, a big ol' wodge of cash. But then so does Pérez, and has never punched another driver repeatedly in the face or thrown a big old strop when he gets penalised for running another driver off track, and has a mass of experience to help develop a car with.
Stoffel Vandoorne to beat Bottas and win the race. Place your bets.
On the flip side, with no Hamilton around, Mercedes entire focus will be on getting Bottas to the front rather than leaving him as a rear gunner to pick up the pieces.Hamilton not racing for the final two races gives Verstappen a very good chance of taking 2nd place in the drivers Championship from Bottas. What is his lead, 12 points or so? Two wins from Max and he'd seal the deal.
Do we think that Russell is in with a chance of standing in?
Its unlikely I'd say; he isn't Merc's Reserve Driver and he "belongs" to Williams contractually.
Slip Williams some cash and they might go for it though..
Did he have a go in a Mercedes this year or last? or am i making that up? Swear i remember him driving it for a test day or something.

It would need to be enough to persuade Williams that it's a better bet than racing for 9th in the constructors as they're only 3 points behind Haas and Haas have a reserve driver and a Ferrari PU at a race you really don't want a Ferrari PU*. A bit of chaos and Williams could well score points, though enough to get ahead of Haas is obviously very unlikely.Its unlikely I'd say; he isn't Merc's Reserve Driver and he "belongs" to Williams contractually.

Hulk?
I'm in a Whatsapp group with a few friends who i used to go to F1 with and they are getting bored of my Hulkenburg replacement/covid memes... In fact one of them shared the Hamilton story this morning and was shocked i wasn't in there straight away with a meme. lol
