The announcement that George Russell’s will race for Mercedes in Formula 1 in 2022 was no surprise, but the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast asks if he’s got what it takes to match up to Lewis Hamilton.
Scott Mitchell joins Edd Straw to discuss Russell’s prospects, the reasoning for the decision and how the battle with Hamilton could go.
There’s also a look at the prospects for the final two seats on the grid at Alfa Romeo and Williams with Alex Albon among those in the mix for a drive.
The Race F1 Podcast is released at least once a week and available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
We also released a special episode yesterday in the wake of Valtteri Bottas’s move to Alfa Romeo, which you can listen to here.
