Toto Wolff hits back at Christian Horner over Lewis Hamilton and George Russell comment

“We haven’t seen Hamilton race against Russell, so you can’t judge that. We also haven’t seen Charles Leclerc in a top car. I have a high opinion of Sergio Perez and I am curious how he compares to Verstappen.”

Naturally given the current situation regarding Hamilton’s contract, Russell is being primed to take his Mercedes seat should the talks turn sour.

While the general expectation is still that the seven-time world champion will return with Mercedes this year, Russell’s performance in the Mercedes – and his growing reputation as a result – is a spanner in the works.

Should Hamilton return to Mercedes, he will chase history.
