I think the first thing Merc should do for George ( well, any young driver ) is get him 'an Angela' like Lewis. (remember early Lewis?)
He seems a bit hot headed and seems to get would up easily (Bottas smack on helmet). Anything that can keep his concentration on the track and not have to be concerned about trivia will make him better.
PS I think her role with Lewis is highly under rated
Agreed. She is his right arm (no, not like that you naughty boys!) and really does take the load off him (no!) and helps him produce his best on track.
This made me laugh too hard lol.
2022 will be interesting. I think if the car isn't competitive, Lewis will retire. I can see him competing for a few more years if the car is competitive. With competitive I mean fighting for podiums minimum. I mean, if anything this season has shown he is still one of the best on the grid.
I also really don't see Russell beating Hamilton. I am afraid Russell is going to have a rude wake-up in 2022. Feel free to quote me on this if I am proven wrong next year.
Good - the aim was to inject a bit of light-hearted humour. We need it sometimes, I think.
If the car isn't competitive, I think Lewis will see his contract out. So long as he beats his team mate, there's nothing else that can be done. All drivers see it that way - your most important opponent is your team mate.
I'd love for Lewis to be able to maintain his current record of having a win in every season in F1, even if he doesn't take another title. He would be the only driver to have done it, so it really would be a nice little thing to achieve.
I think Russell is the real deal. I think he'll push Lewis as hard as Nico did. If I'm wrong, do remind me of this post.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
