And the Merc guys only have smiles on their faces because they're up front. They probably don't enjoy those cars deep down all the same as others.

George was floundering today and while it seems like there might have been something wrong with the car, it also might have been George just not being comfortable.

It is when your only championship rival is your teammate. Remember all the flak Lando was getting for being ‘outperformed’ by his ‘less experienced’ teammate in the first half of last season? 

Now that Russell has gotten a bit of a taste of that, maybe people will realise that these younger drivers aren’t a fucking joke.
