Russell is now 71 points behind Lewis in the championship and Lewis is fighting to get Perez in P2. I think it's time Mercedes prioritise Hamilton over George otherwise Lewis will not only lose out to Perez but Mercedes might lose their P2 to Ferrari as well.
Think about it๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@Sid_footyF1
I disagree, P2 is not worth making team orders. It would only make sense if they were fighting for a championship. Let George race Lewis as heโs learning some crucial skills on tire management and handling pressure, in my eyes heโs still a rookie compared to a 8 time champ
@Sid_footyF1
Iโm sure theyโll prioritise 2nd in the constructorsโ over 2nd in the driversโ championships. No money for the driversโ championship for a start. At which point it doesnโt matter who finishes higher.
@Sid_footyF1
I am a fan of Lewis but disagree. I like the fact that Merc allow both drivers to race fairly. No one cares, or remembers who finishes 2nd. If Lewis was fighting for the title, I would understand. Happy for them to keep racing to the end of this season. May the best man win.๐
@Sid_footyF1
Where went that โlewis had always strong team mates and they racedโ? He can show his qualities and get that p2 in drivers, he dont need russel to help him
@Sid_footyF1
Not sure he is fighting Perez for second. It is between him and Alonso for 3rd.
Dont think they need to give team orders or focus on one driver over the other
@Sid_footyF1
Well George had been holding back because Toto had beg borrow and steal to sign LH44. But now contracts have been signed George will defy team orders!
@Sid_footyF1
Yeah about time the support driver takes his place and supports the 8 time world champion.
Not many races left, letโs use brains here Mercedes. Russel just focus on finishing ๐คฃ
