Saw today on IG that Albon signed with Williams. Spoke with some old driver friends from GT3 we know and they said Russel to Mercedes was a done deal, Bottas is moving to Alfa and now that all makes sense with Albon going Williams and Kimi stepping down. Was pretty happy to see Checo get another year with Red Bull.
I don’t see Russel being a great teammate for Lewis and I think Toto knows he’s bringing in new blood. Lewis is by no means washed up but they need to be planning for the future and Toto is cynical enough to see this. Russel will be going for his own championship and won’t be keen on playing nice, and I would love to see some Niko-esq drama in the garage. Between a teammate and Max putting pressure on him and new regs for ‘22, we gonna see what Lewis still has in the tank.
