I'm sad Bottas is leaving but Russell's talent cannot be denied. With Max in Red Bull, Lando in Mclaren, Leclerc in Ferrari, and George in Mercedes, the future of F1 is a thriller I can't wait to see!
A podium he deserved 3 times over, but still taken from him, and a podium he undoubtedly deserves, but didn't race for. Either way both performances were absolutely unbelievable.
Russell deserved the Merc seat. He grafted at helping Williams fight for single digit points for years at the back of the grid and never once complained. Great Attitude and potential future champion
@@sanik4725 really? Hamilton is 36. Russell has 13 years on him. If you really think Hamilton will still be the number one driver in his mid-40’s you’re mad. This is succession planning. Lewis will lead until he gets that 8th world title and at most for the 2022 and 2023 seasons then it’ll be George’s team from 2024 onwards.
Mostly because the dominating drivers have had something in their character. With Vettel it was the finger, Hamilton was passive-aggressive. If Russel comes to dominate like that, I will celebrate every single victory for him. He is such a down-to-earth, likable and mature person, how can anyone hate him?
We will see how he will behave when he finished some podiums. Overall, I disagree. Some drivers deserve to be hated, because of their behaviour, but I personally think F1 fans will not hate him nor Max or Lando. This is a new generation and they made all things right so far. That is what F1 needs, not Ego-Hamiltons, Strange Schumis or Vettels (Vettel has changed and is now almost the most loved driver of the fans)
@cheezl He apologised for his act. He thought Bottas was at fault and he indeed acted like a child. That's the way Max used to act and he matured throughout the years.
I’m feeling like George Russell has a great future in F1 beyond just winning the championship. Perhaps as a higher-up in F1 management or even F1 director someday. What he’s done at Williams shouldn’t be overlooked - he took a back-marker team and brought it to a level to qualify 2nd at Spa between Verstappen and Hamilton in less than three years! That’s truly some top level talent right there!
The whole situation and relationship with Russel at Merc was like having a kid in the backseat on a long journey asking "are we there yet? are we there yet?" and it was getting quite annoying especially with the whole british media lobbying and fans spamming GEEEOOOORGE under every social media post, so I'm quite relieved that this whole spam and anticipation will be gone.
george will definently will, hamilton would be old enough to retire lol, or we could see a kimi move and hamilton will race in f1 just for fun. either to Williams, Aston Martin, Mercedes, or even ferrari by news sources saying he might go to ferrari after he's done.
As much as I like Valtteri and wanted him to continue, I think George deserves it after 3 years at the back end of the grid. Bottas spent 4 seasons at Williams before joining Merc but in the last 3 he had an actual competitive car and grabbed some podiums, George wasn't so fortunate
Yes, Lewis is getting old, Mercedes needs to know if Russell is up to the task. Sure he shined when substituted for Lewis, but is he consistent enough to challenge for the world championship or is he just another Daniel Riccicardo.
A consecutive Gp3 and F2 champion, come on he’s born to be one of most competitive in F1, its crazy that he had to wait so much to be in a strong car compared to others
Russell, Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Norris, Vettel, Sainz, Perez, Gasly, Alonso battle for next year hopefully Woah that would be crazy edit: hmm actually i think the whole f1 grid will battle for the championship 😂
@@bunwat223 I doubt it. Nico and Lewis have been rivals since childhood, I think their competition went back a lot further than F1. I did forget Prost and Senna though, that's definitely the best line up ever lol
@@DeLaCroix1211 yeah no doubt. Prost senna best line up ever. Russell hasnt done anything yet, we will see how he stands in a decent car against strong teammate and opponent. Personally i dont think he's on the level of Hamilton/alonso/vettel or Leclerc/verstappen
@@DeLaCroix1211 Nico and Lewis were the same age, and from the same generation. Russell, though, is much younger than Hamilton by 13 years. By the time Russell turned 10, Hamilton was reeling from his debut season, where he came close to winning it by 1 point.
@@blackpaint9093 He needs to prove his worth but I wouldn't be surprised if Russel has similar performance to Leclerc when he joined Ferrari, definitely some pole positions and wins but I don't think he'll beat Hamilton just yet
Can't lie, kinda sad he didn't stick with Williams considering he's helped that team go from being 19th and 20th all the time to getting into Q3 but I can't blame him for wanting to go to mercedes
Future of F1 is rounding into form! Lando at Mclaren, Leclerc at Ferrari, Russell at Mercedes, and Max in his Red Bull I can’t wait to see who the best is!
He's been a class act with them through their darkest hours. His abilities to motivate the team are as important as raw speed if he wants to be a multiple WDC. Wish him the best. Never heard him complain.
can't wait for Bono to say, "Lewis, it's Bono, let George by he's faster than you", "Lewis, it's Bono, please hold position", "Lewis, it's Bono, please abort the fastest lap"
George Russell might be an aggressive hotheaded driver but his talent is incredible. He’s driving circles around Hamilton like it’s nothing. He’s a legend in the making, I think we are lucky to be watching him so early in his career.
I can't believe it I have waited so long... I was hoping and waiting... and now the time has come and I still am so happy. This feels so unreal George Russell will be a Mercedes F1 driver and he will maybe fight for the championship I am ready for the 2022 season
Watched it thrice on a loop. Russell is different gravy. Phenomenal driver and a generational talent. I will be very shocked if he doesn’t win atleast a couple of WDCs.
For potential, the young drivers coming through now will easily outstrip rivalries of the past, Russell, Noris, Le Clerc, Verstappen, all amazing team leaders in their teams, and each team on the up, hopefully the "number 2" drivers come up to the plate and make it even better, would love to see Sainz up there too.
and this is only what we see on the track, outside he recommended albon for the williams seat, stopped to help callum ilott with his upside down kart during their junior times... and let's not forget how he let nicky have his moment during hungary! Amazing human and driver
It´s nice for him that his first podium was for Williams so the haters can´t blame it on having the best car etc. Great driver with great skill! Looking forward to the 2022 season!
No doubt he's a great driver, but he's benefiting enormously from the hype around him, and his British citizenship. Otherwise he would finish like Esteban Ocon or Pascal Wehrlein.
I've read a lot of comments to see this one, you're absolutely right! Drivers from more exotic countries usually have harder life in F1 than british ones. Just check Robert Kubica... UK has always been strong in Formula 1 and despite of talent english drivers have more benefits than anybody in this racing world
I love how literally everyone is happy for him. Well deserved for such a hard worker. Was really worried Williams might be bad for his growth, but that was clearly wrong lol.

In hindsight, I'm now kinda glad he didn't score that podium in Sakir for Mercedes. It's fitting that his first podium is with Williams.
I thought the same !
I don't think he considers it a real first podium tbh. Well deserved, yes, but it's not the same without a race
Hoping he gets a podium after racing with Williams aswell 💪🏼
Pretty sure he would've liked the podium though instead of getting one for a 3 lap race
A podium he deserved 3 times over, but still taken from him, and a podium he undoubtedly deserves, but didn't race for. Either way both performances were absolutely unbelievable.
