OK, Bottas, time to win one. Bit of a shame, ends at least one of Lewis streaks.

Would like to see Hulkenberg on Mercedes. Probably helps his cause for the red bull seat too, if he has a good performance.

Sucks that there is a chance one of Perez or Hulkenberg probably don't have a seat again next year.

In all honesty I hope Russell gets the call up.

The real question is: Whoever replaces Hamilton this weekend, does he finish ahead of Bottas?

Finally gets a solid chance of finishing in the points then.

I love the idea of Hulk at Red Bull.

Well that should make for a really neat story. What's everyone's predictions for a new-ish driver taking on the best car in F1? I would just love it if he somehow made it top 5.

Haha this is awesome! Good for George! Feel for Hulkenburg though. Might have been the last hurrah and a chance to get a podium. Hopefully he squeezes his way to the Red Bull seat.

Hell yes. Brit for a Brit! I'm thinking he can pull off a top 5. He will have all weekend in the car, so by Sunday should have a handle on it.

Getting my picks in early...I'm all aboard the Russell train. I just missed him getting points in Imola. The Merc is wayyyyy easier to drive than the Williams, time to shine!!

Verstappen
Perez
Russell
Bottas
Ricciardo
Sainz
Ocon
Norris
Gasly
Leclerc

Just make sure someone tells George not to run the Merc into the barrier while warming his tires up

Super stoked to see him driving it, though! I might actually watch some of the FPs now. If he somehow outraces Bottas, I look forward to the nuclear reaction from the racing media, Twitter, and /r/formula1.

Haha, that broke my heart at Imola. I have a big soft spot for Williams and they were so close to the points. But the meltdowns will be awesome when he does beat him. I think Russell is faster on a dry circuit than Bottas, that qualy lap at Mugello was amazing. Bottas has always been very good on slick/green tracks. That could be his only saving grace with half the track being green and sandy. But with a full race weekend, support races, and no rain...Russell will beat him.

Bottas has bad luck, so somthing will probably happen that makes a direct comparison impossible. What will be interesting is if Mr. Saturday can best him in Qualy.
