Wolff involved in Russell’s Red Bull talks​

Mercedes’ driver decision for 2022 is now looming large. In the paddock, it is widely expected that Toto Wolff will ultimately decide that Valtteri Bottas will be replaced by George Russell. However, amid the uncertainty, Wolff’s fellow Austrian and nemesis Dr Helmut Marko says Red Bull is also interested in the Mercedes-backed Williams driver. “If George were to talk to Red Bull, I will be sitting at that table too,” Wolff told Osterreich newspaper. With the pressure rising, Wolff admits the time to think about the identity of Lewis Hamilton’s next teammate has finally arrived.

“It is important for Valtteri and George to know where they will be next year,” he said. “I expect a few more questions from you at Spa,” added Wolff, referring to the first grand prix in Belgium after the August break. If Bottas, 31, is given his marching orders, he is being linked with moves to Alfa Romeo or Williams. “We have agreed to sit down either after this weekend or Budapest at the latest. Let’s see,” the Finnish driver told Ilta Sanomat newspaper.

Bottas revealed that “Mika (Hakkinen) and Didier Coton” will handle the negotiations for him. “They are working in the background,” he said. “We have to look through all the options if things don’t continue here.” Bottas admits that those options are limited due to many teams being in the middle of multi-year agreements with their current drivers. “Now might not be the best time to change teams,” he admitted, “but the situation is what it is so let’s make the most of it.”

[Marko and Red Bull would not take on a Mercedes owned driver, this is just Marko bullshiting for the fun of it]

I watched the C4 qually/sprint, DC and Webber were talking about it as if it was a done deal.

I sticking with my never bet against Lewis, he better win or he'll cost me about B$400 as I'll have to pick up the bar tab later [B$400 is around 50 quid thats what it cost for 8 people to eat and drink here for 3 to 4 hours]

Yeah, he's not out of the running yet.

And bloody hell, that would feed and booze one person in this here London...

 

[souljacker]

I really dislike Tom cruise. He's a bellend.

 

[Badgers]

Honestly I think Max is a world champion on waiting.

Better than Hamilton? Nah. Maybe in a year or two?

The car/mechanics/pit stops are the difference between these two. I for one love it playing out in our time

 

[Badgers]

Go Go Go

 

[Ax^]

was wondering when that would happen

 

[Limejuice]

Oops!

 

[souljacker]

Lol!

 

[Ax^]

Max's Fault was weaving all over the fucking place

 

[a_chap]

Oh bugger

 

[spitfire]

That was a bone shaker, hope he's OK.

 

[1%er]

Thats what happens when Max is under presure, he pushes to hard

 

[Limejuice]

I think Max thought Hammy would back off and avoid a collision as he's done in all of the last few races.

Wrong decision.

 

[Ax^]

if you no longer go for a gap you are no longer a racing driver

 

[a_chap]

5 second penalty for Lewis for not giving Verstappen plenty of room...

[/sarcasm]

 

[Ax^]

sure Max, Horner and Marko will be greatious about what was clearing a lap one racing incident

 

[souljacker]

Yep. He can't deal with it. Could easily be a penalty for Lewis though, especially as golden boy leclerc is now in the lead.

 

[spitfire]

Seemed to be plenty of room for both of them and Max turned in slightly too much.

 

[MrCurry]

So anyway, like I was saying, the main race is gonna be boring and nothings gonna happen….!!

 

[Sasaferrato]

That was deliberate.
