Does Mercedes need Lewis now ?
Discussion
Why should M-B pay Lewis the many, many millions he’s demanding when they have George Russell contracted already ?
His pre season tests in a Mercedes showed what he could do and irrespective of the result tomorrow he’s shown he should be in the car. Alongside Lewis he may be the better driver, certainly a truly competitive one.

This is an age old question as is the saying, “the King is dead, long live the King”.
George Russell was seen as a future talent having proved himself in the lower formulae. Being a driver at Williams he was overlooked to a point by Lando Norris or Alex Albon etc. No doubt those drivers might do well in a Mercedes that might drive to their character or temperament. But we don’t know that at the moment.
I bet several Management people in the pit lane are looking at Russell very differently today.
