Did you listen to BBC Radio 5 Live? As terrible Palmer was as a driver he absolutely rocks as a punditI listened on the radio and have noticed they do tend to pick up more than on tv. They talked about Mick having a good race, but I ended up gardening as tomorrow is a wash out here and it’s seemed pretty conclusive what the top 3 would be.
I do feel sorry for Max, twice he’s been penalised for track limits. I get they have to do it but get the gravel back then it’s stay on track or be beached!
Sorry to ask but what is it like listening on radio as to seeing on tv? Not sure I could. I hate listening to cricket on radioDid you listen to BBC Radio 5 Live? As terrible Palmer was as a driver he absolutely rocks as a pundit
I'd be so surprised as well if they changed. Mercedes like the stability of this driver pairing. And I just can't see Toto sanctioning this mid season. Not unless Bottas implodes within the team or causes major problems that become a risk to the team competing for the two titles.Its being reported that Mercedes are planning on replacing Bottas with Russell before the end of the season...
George Russell could replace Valtteri Bottas before season end - report | PlanetF1
Mercedes are 'losing faith' in Valtteri Bottas and could replace him with George Russell before the season ends, according to the Daily Mail.www.planetf1.comValtteri Bottas could face axe at Mercedes before end of season
A swift change would open the door early for George Russell, the 23-year-old Brit who is favourite to take Bottas's seat in 2022. Bottas, whose confidence looks shot, is in his fifth season with the team.www.dailymail.co.uk
I can’t see it happening during the season. Perhaps for next year but why switch now when VB is highly likely to be 2nd or 3rd most races. George did well when he stood in and he’s likely to be amazing but it’s not a guarantee.Its being reported that Mercedes are planning on replacing Bottas with Russell before the end of the season...

Good point! It could come from George PR. I like him, but I did not like that he did not help Bottas at the car crash.All that is reported is that the engineers arent very happy with him, the bit about possibly replacing him before the season end seems just to be stuff McEvoy from the Daily Mail added (probably wishful thinking).
Mercedes struggles with rear instability this year, the car is way more harder to drive than in the past years: I really doubt that any driver that could realitically replace him would do better when joining mid-season. Not to forget that any change unsettles the situation always.
I dont get why there would be even need to: Imola aside he did exactly what a #2 is supposed to do? Wouldnt surprise me if George's PR team spread this rumour to make him look better after his brainfart recently.
The only way I can see it happening is if Bottas out of frustration plays dirty or if his form drastically drops.
He kept his word and I'm so happy.I am not a massive merc fan but I love the gesture Toto has made to let grosjean drive at the French GP. Nice for Roman to end on a happier memory.
Yeh, that was poor from George, don't think it did him any favours. I would be surprised if they switched mid season.Good point! It could come from George PR. I like him, but I did not like that he did not help Bottas at the car crash.
He is really good, but must be stressed by the limited seats. Their good friend Albon is already out.Yeh, that was poor from George, don't think it did him any favours. I would be surprised if they switched mid season.
