      @surebrec5113 Před 2 lety +1

      @@dom_.6312 I wouldn't say he's dominating him, but he does seem to be able to get the most out of the car. The problem for Lewis long term is that things won't improve for him. George's Mercedes career is only 4 races old and he's already started to raise eyebrows. Give it a season for him to fully settle in, and I think he will end up dominating Lewis.
      Now I'm not taking anything away from him, and I am actually an Hamilton fan, but people need to be realistic with regards to his capabilities. He's 37, and he's probably 5-6 years past his peak at least. It's impossible for athletes to maintain their peak fitness conditions indefinitely, that's why you rarely see professional sports stars still at the top of their game past their mid-late 30s.
      The moment Mercedes brought Russell in to replace him for this race, the clock started ticking on Hamilton's time there, and him being signed full time is a signal of their intent.
      The fanboys can't figure that out though, they are still convincing themselves that if Mercedes were still in a position to challenge for the title, they'd force George to yield. That's not going to happen, because that's not why they signed him. If, or more likely when Russell does start to dominate him, Wolff will start putting the focus of the team behind him as they have done with Hamilton for the last 5 years.
      By the time Hamilton's contract comes up for renewal again, he'll be fast approaching 39 and Russell will be fully up to speed and settled in.
      Suddenly, Hamilton might find out that he doesn't hold all the cards any more because Wolff has already found the next goose that is going to lay the golden eggs for him. I've said it all along and I still believe it'll be the case that when Lewis starts to negotiate another extension to his contract (if he does at all), he'll either be told to accept a deal on their terms or pack his helmet and walk.
      You can't get that through to the Hamilton fanboys though, they'll get all pissy and bent out of shape & offended, then call you a hater. Their usual fall-back excuse for convincing themselves to the contrary is the 6 titles he won with them. To Mercedes, those titles are history, They are memories and trophies in a cabinet. All the top teams are investing in young talent. Red Bull are doing it with Verstappen, Ferrari with Leclerc, Mclaren with Norris, and now Mercedes with Russell.
      Two more seasons and I think the Hamilton's, the Alonso's, The Vettel's, they'll be gone and it'll be the young guns fighting for championships amongst themselves.

      Focused too much on improving qualifying performances that he forgot to work on his race craft. He's closer than ever to Hamilton in qualifying now but is just dreadful when it comes to managing the race. I'd love to see Mercedes swap Russell and Bottas for 2021. Give Hamilton a proper teammate and give Russell a proper teammate to learn from before Hamilton hangs it up

      if Bottas doesn't win the 2021 World Championship, he never will. Next year he really needs to go in hard, take it to Hamilton. Maybe get Rosberg to help him, learn to start playing mind games with Hamilton. The only other way that he could win after next year is if Hamilton decides to retire
