If that doesn't float your boat, what about George Russell taking over for Lewis Hamilton (covid) in the all conquering Mercedes this weekend?
For once we will see the difference between a good driver in a $hit car (Williams) and a good driver in the best car.
I believe Russell is up to something like 34-0 in terms of outqualifying his teammate in his career thus far. Lets see if he can outqualify the more than competent Valteri Bottas this weekend.
The only thing i don't like about this swap is that Russell needs to get his head around the dual-axis steering that is unique to the mercedes. I'm not sure it will be the fair comparison we want it to be as surely that takes 100's laps to get the hang of. But we'll see.
