I was reading in a European newspaper that he was the front runner. It will be very interesting to see what he does in a top car. He's a brilliant driver.

Good move for him. I thought Werlein had the inside track with his Mercedes relationship. Odd that the Mercedes tech director is going to Williams as Bottas comes to Mercedes.
Leaves Williams needing two drivers, or did they already fill the other seat? |

I suspect that no-one could get along with Lewis now. Whilst you have to give him respect for his long and dedicated career, I get the impression that he's become something of a prima donna.
New rules, new ,faster cars, Seb Vettell and "Happy" Kimi in Ferraris, Daniel the "honey badger" and mad Max V in Red Bulls, Checko in a Force India, and Massa back in a Williams.....what not to like? Roll on March 26th in Oz. "It's gonna be great!"

Yup, they changed his mind ...probably bought hm a beer, and offered him a 2% raise.
Let's face it - his last race what less than he deserved for his last one. I hope he does better this year.
