    I don't think that Hulk will be offered th seat. Since he's been in the cards for Red Bull next year, they would get immediate feedback
    on Mercedes if he's chosen and that won't be a good scenario for them. I think Von Doom will get the job.

    Once both WDC and WCC titles are won, it's time to test 2021 aero, suspension, engine-related components on races that still remain on the calender. Always progressing and moving forward...never standing still.

    That thought crossed my mind and then I thought, nah, I'm seeing ghosts. It's not like Liberty realized with all championships decided, the MS record broken, there is no more attraction and thought it'd be fun to replace the shoe-in-winner for the remaining races. Nah, that would never happen. This is F1. A serious sport and not some cheap form of entertainment that only looks at the TV ratings.

    Well said. LH not being in the car is not optimal at all. Not world end but nice to have most experienced pilot assess changes on track.

    No problem! I got my SCCA National competition license. I will wait for Toto's call...

    Very surprised that someone other than me shares this opinion.

    Ha! I've got my Competitor (Entrant) Driver FIA License 60:4751 issued by the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall that really did qualify me to drive in Formula 1. Unfortunately it is dated 28th July 1960 = a mere sixty years ago and I'm guessing that my personal physician may decline to clear me for F1 racing by this weekend.

    Oh sh-t!

    If they don’t put Russell in that seat they make a big mistake imo. What do they have to gain from Hulk or Van Doorne when they could evaluate a future candidate in race conditions?

    F1 Mercedes history

    Ever since 1954 & 1955 and 225 races later, the SakhirGP will be the first time in Mercedes F1 where it has no World Champion in its driver line-up.

    Perhaps M-B should 'borrow' 4X WDC Seb ;-)

    Not saying otherwise but the reality is that COVID took out HAM and Max is staying where he is—though with finally a good chance to win with one of the Mercs effectively out.

    Yes agreed almost as if it's been contrived :)
    But seriously it will make it a tad more interesting and one to watch .

    Lots of folks say it's just the car so why put a driver in it all?

    But seriously I hope he gets well soon- I wouldn't wish a disease like Covid on my worst enemy.

    Russell is tipped to get the seat. It will be interesting to see how he compares to Bottas.
