I do not understand why people think he may go to Mercedes. Russell is better than him and they are going to need a spot for their top prospect soon unless he is a bust in F2.


Nah. What Albion did last year in a Williams turd was much more impressive compared to what George did in the Mercedes. He was arguably the most impressive driver last year outside of Max.

Albon is not even close to Russell. I stand by that but we will see how Russell does this year.

I'd argue Russell did better in a worse Williams car. Last year's Williams had some pretty good low-downforce speed. Albon could still hold people off, unlike Russell's Williams that was a sitting duck. Albon is good, though. I'd like to see him in a better car now that he has more maturity.

Piastri was damned impressive for a rookie driver.

I like Williams and Albon, but i'd argue this is a bit of a stretch.

The Alpine was shite, and Ocon and Gasly actually podiumed (One being in Monaco, but still).
Alonso in the Aston Martin was impressive, at least the first quarter of the year
Sainz actually won a race and a pole or two
Two McLaren drivers were impressive after the upgrade package came through
LeClerc is usually fighting against his own pit wall every grand prix and performed well

i have high hopes for the williams this year, but the car not being ready is causing PTSD


edit: the FW46 is on the track in Bahrain
