I don't ever remember Russell impressing in the wet? I don't think Russell is much of a feel driver. His skill is delivering precision, particularly over a single lap. Changeable conditions don't let him tune in on that perfect lap.

Didn't he qualify 2nd in Spa (the race that was rained out)? Could be down to the Williams being more grippy thanks to bad aero, but he's done relatively well in the wet although nothing too memorable.

From my memory, wasn't Spa more about timing than brilliance? Still, he did well to keep it on track in tricky conditions. It's not that he's bad in the wet, just that it doesn't seem to be a particular skill of his - e.g. Lewis, Vettel, or Schumacher you always expected them to impress more than ever in the rain, Russell is where he always is. Someone like Checo, in contrast, goes backwards in the wet.

He finished second in the Williams but from memory that was primarily down to them doing an extra warm up lap ? or something along those lines, they basically did something that no other teams did and it worked brilliantly. I remember the team principle mentioning it but sadly my memory is too bad to remember the exact details.

Agree that there are definitely better/more noteworthy drivers. Vettel was the first one that came to mind.

Yea I can’t remember the exact situation except that he was one of the last, but still impressive to keep it together on such a long track.
 
So unless there are crashes or mechanical failures etc, it's going to be Norris, Piastri or Max. Really don't know which one to pick/predict as the winner.

Looks like Ferrari and Merc are too far off and Leclerc, Sainz and Hamilton will only be battling each other for 4th-6th.

I expect Russell to get into the points. I doubt Perez will because he is ****.
 
Easy money :cool:
