I'll be surprised if Russell makes the step up to Merc before Hamilton retires. Unless RB can get some consistent results in the next few races and really push Merc for the WCC. Honestly crashing out was the best thing that could've happened to Bottas yesterday. That was a pretty embarrassing display. Especially how long it took him to pass Gasly on wets.
So.. Bottas thinks Russell is some sort of whackjob for suggesting that Merc probably assumed he'd hold station behind as he's a Merc-affiliated driver. Toto made the same comment.
Sadly he then basically admitted that Russell should have stayed behind as he's a Mercedes driver sort of undermines the whole narrative.
