    In my opinion if Russell doesn’t win for whatever reason. He had proved his talent and that the Merc Cheater car is above all other cars.

    Bottas sliding the car all over the place having to fend off slower cars and he makes $9m+ a year unlike Russell. And it was a comment about how high MB pays their drivers, not that they employ them at all.

    If someone at this point doesn't know the mercedes is above all other cars you haven't watched F1 in years.

    Will Russell be told to let Bottas pass for more points?

    Correct. But it seems to be really 80% Perez and Leclerc 20% fault.

    I don’t want to take away from Russell......but......this weekend is showing you can stick anyone in the Merc and win. Bottles should be slightly embarrassed right now.

    I don't think so. If Max were still in I would say yes.

    People have clamoring for a long time for Russell to get put into the Merc. b/c folks believe he has the talent to pilot it as well as Lewis.

    Now that the opportunity is there, it's all the car, not Russell....

    What if Perez didn't dive into the apex as he did...would leclerc have slid into him?

    My guess is yes.

    And Sainz must be asking himself why he is STILL going to SF in 2021! ;)

    Again, would this have been a conversation with Ferrari in 2002? Schumacher made $80-$100mm/year at the height of his career. Win and you get paid well.

    I have no answer for Bottas though.

    You have absolutely no way to be certain of that, my guess is no. People making Charles' lock up a bigger factor in the incident than it was.

    They are both 10+ seconds clear of third place. Max was right.
