maddmaxx ★ Posted December 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2020 From the slowest car and last place in the points to the fastest practice times in sessions 1 and 2 George Russell is getting the chance of a lifetime while driving Hamilton's car as a replacement driver this week. Hamilton is out for at least this race with cv19 and Russell has been borrowed from another team to drive the car. It's not disclosed how much Williams got in return for loaning him to Petronas (another Mercedes engine team). The car needed major changes to fit the much taller driver and Russell also has to squeeze on a size smaller shoe because there is simply no room for his normal one in the car built to fit Hamilton. F1 is a wild place this weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 5, 2020 This weekend also involves a replacement driver for Roman Grosjean of the spectacular fireball crash of last weekend and a replacement at Williams for Russell's normal ride. That means 2 new drivers get their chance at the fast cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted December 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 5, 2020 The shoe thing seems so weird. I suspect he can’t drive well in I’ll fitting shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted December 6, 2020 It's hard to believe that the kid has been leading since the start of the race after gridding #2. This could be the highlight feel good story of the year in F1. Unfortunately he is having a bit of engine trouble and 2nd place is catching him. Oh no. They screwed up his pit stop and it's going to cost him the race. They mixed up the tires and gave him a mixed set so he had to pit again. What a shame. 20 laps to go and he's in 5th with everyone stacked up behind the pace car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted December 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2020 Still had a chance until he picked up a puncture. He definitely showed what he can do with top equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted December 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2020 In the Mercedes garage: All right team. Lewis is out, but we have an outstanding young driver with an opportunity to show his talents with the strongest team in F1. Now everyone gather around so I can shoot you all in the foot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted December 7, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 7, 2020 After the race, Toto Wolff called it a “colossal fuck up” before they could censor him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
