So if Hamilton leaves at the end of 2021, presumably Bottas will stay for 2022 as Merc won't want to change both drivers at once.
Then again.... if the story about Hamilton wanting a say in who his team mate is is true, then one season doesn't make sense as he knew Bottas was in for this year
Okay. I’m not really surprised that Sir Hamilton will continue F1 for 2021. What I’m really intrigued is why it took him and Mercedes-AMG F1 this long? I’ll put it here at once so we will look back at this post. Mercedes-AMG will have 8, yes 8, EIGHT CONSECUTIVE DOUBLE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and will be the GOAT team and Sir Hamilton be the GOAT driver of all time. No more questions asked. End of F1 2021 Season. Moving on to 2022
A driver can only become GOAT when the sport ceases to exist, who knows what who may come along in the future, after all I remember M Schumacher being hailed as the Goat at one time.
I just wish this 2021 F1 Season will be more exciting! Hoping Vettel (Aston Martin) and Ricciardo (McLaren), both on Mercedes machinery, can give Hamilton a beating and some real challenge. Bottas has been very disappointing IMHO and has made Hamilton’s 7th F1 Title look like a walk in the park. Then there’s Alonso on Alpine and Max/Checo on Red Bull that might be strong contenders. Not expecting so much from the newbies this 2021 (Tsunoda, Mazepin & Schumacher) The only F1 rookie who almost stole and won the Championship was also Hamilton back in 2007
Perez in Red Bull will be super exciting to see! Fight for third will be super exciting! How will Vettel perform in Aston Martin? Will Alonso be an embarassment or success? Good times ahead
Agreed. Those three will make the championship I want to see. And Ferrari agonising in the last year of this powertrain is for sure. Both constructors and driver titles are already settled out.
