who option is it at Williams, for him to stay there?
Russell to Aston Martin -- hmmm, probably not...
not to McLaren either....

Yes, he has his moments, but we all did when we were young. (23 is still young).

Ocon, don't think he'll go back to MB...

I think Toto supports Russell but also letting him know his placement or seat at Mercedes in the future is not a certainty. There are lots of good drivers to choose from. Toto is not in a hurry now as LH says he wants a multi-year deal.

Toto can choose the replacement for Bottas if there is one, no driver turns him down and Id take Norris. All the positives of George and so far none of the garbage George shows.

He is so much like Vettel - immediate blame rather than not talking etc. Poor headwork and he is not at all a rookie now. I actually think he did some damage no matter what he says. He is not a rookie anymore. I do not sense a good team leader either.

Norris is maturing so quickly and with such savvy for his age. Equally as fast. I see him as equal to Charles in fact.

Toto see's how well he is doing vs Ricci at Mclaren. Norris has done well in the team and comes out, or across as actually leading the team a bit now.
