But I have no doubt that George is far from a racing certainty to be considered team leader material in future. A mildly remotivated Ham having almost 50% more points than him isn't a great sign. Last edited by peebee2; 25 Jul 2023 at 10:49. |

Haas can surprise. And seem more organised at times than other teams

Personally I think Russell is future no.1 material. He's had a few 'issues' this season that had blunted his campaign but most of the time over a race distance he's at a similar level to Hamilton. Sometimes ahead, sometimes behind.
Anyone who can get close to Lewis let alone beat him is seriously good. |

Analysis of performance isn't nearly so positive. And Lewis, who most think is in a slow decline of sorts, is shading him massively this season. Outdated Powerpoint can only get you so far. |

The funny thing is watching the Sky broadcasts, and its almost like Ferrari doesnt exist. They really get no love.. and there is almost an EXPECTATION for something to go wrong with strategy or performance, or a dud pitstop or some other management intervention to two drivers who keep arguing with their pitwall...
Weird state of affairs... |

I just hope Vasseur can turn things around. But it was always going to be a struggle this year, the car is just not quick enough. Although they have had a few moments in the sun

I think Russell has shown leadership qualities. He has shown himself willing to speak up and ask why he should not be allowed to move in front of Hamilton when the latter has been slower at certain points in the race, but I've also seen times where he has selflessly even offered to move over to help the Mercedes strategy overall. So he seems to have a will to win and a sense of the big picture of the team. I don't know how much off the pace you consider him, peebee, but I think if he's even close to Hamilton, that's good - it's like being in the Red Bull and being close to Verstappen.

But one thing, the next Mercedes top dog needs to be a lot better than "good" - hence considering Leclerc etc. |

I'm not saying he is a rubbish driver, but am starting to question some of the hype that surrounds him. |

Inside the sport Leclerc is generally considered the outright fastest driver on pace alone.
His mistakes have been costing him though. |
