Russell v Hamilton next year in an ultra competitive Mercedes team
George Russell will be coming up against one of, if not THE, greatest F1 drivers of all time in Lewis Hamilton. The fact that they will be teammates next season won't make it any less competitive, as we've seen before from Hamilton in his sparring with Nico Rosberg and Valterri Bottas over the last decade of Formula 1 racing. Betting sites are giving odds of 5/2 that George Russell outscores Hamilton in next season's Drivers Championship, meaning that they see a 28% chance of it happening.
Despite it being his first year at Mercedes next season, bookies give Russell a 5/2 shot of beating Hamilton in the Drivers Championship next year!
