Then he'll have a proper look at the development of the 2022 Rule car and decide whether he wants to stay for the new era and risk not winning for his last season.
Eitherway I reckon Russell will be in the Merc in 2022. Either next to LH for 1 year or next to Bottas. Got to be some stability for the new kid.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I also think Bottas' days are numbered.

I got a pretty dismal 10/16. Some of the ones I got wrong I really shouldn't have!!

I note they’re also talking about more institutional charitable foundation stuff - I’m guessing that’s a big focus for Lewis as it’s what he’s going to be doing next
There’s no mention of the role in senior management which Hamilton was reportedly seeking, so I’m assuming that fell by the wayside.
With only a one year deal, I guess the team mate veto doesn’t come into play either. I honestly don’t think Hamilton would be worried about beating any of the drivers on the grid, but if given the choice any driver would prefer a team mate who’s quick enough to be useful but not so quick that the team has any doubt who they should throw their weight behind.
Wolff seems to prefer having a clear lead driver as well; he’s had plenty of opportunity to grab the likes of Alonso, Ricciardo or Vettel, but seems happy with Bottas for now.
The Mercedes team principal also rubbished suggestions Hamilton had asked for a so-called 'Verstappen clause' - an effective veto on future team-mates beyond 2021.
"But having said that, we are totally in line, Lewis and me, the wider group and Mercedes, about the situation. So there was never any discrepancy in opinion."
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
