What do we actually think of Russell?

For me, during races he's never really impressed at all. It's all very well and good being great in qualifying, and having a dominant performance in a superior car (once) but Latifi has looked better in the races by far...
Absolutely can’t bare him. Hate him even more after the way he went at bottas after he caused the accident, the Tory. And as you say, he is underwhelming on a Sunday when Latifi often looks the more likely to get some points.

Can't help but think it's Sacha Baron Cohen whenever I see Latifi on screen.
 
Russell is good and was the best driver in a very competitive F2 field including Norris, Albon, De Vries, Markelov and Latifi.

Not sure he's got elite potential but id imaging he will be in the sport for quite some time
 
Another weekend of having to listen to Di Resta, grim.


Hamilton looking slow this weekend, Verstappen looking stupidly fast

I think he's absolutely terrific. While it may seem that he underperforms in the races compared to qualifying, I think this is just what happens when you have a terrible car.. you can't overdrive it for a whole race distance.

Remember when he was plonked into the Merc last year his race pace was superb.
 
Red Bull is faster around Paul Ricard. This bodes very well for them for the rest of the season.

It will be an uphill struggle for Mercedes to retain their titles unless they can somehow find half a second from somewhere
 
Won't be much in it I reckon. I think they'll both be desperate to finish the race. At this stage its still just about collecting the points that the car is capable of and then trusting that your team will win the development race.
