I think,they would all be amazed if he landed BEFORE Russell in the Qualifying....

Yep because the Williams is so good that the kid has a chance to do that . George has shown all season how good a driver he is by making the Williams look like a fairly good car when it is absolutely shit. Aitkens only hope is to out qualify Latifi

Also a possible Reason for not taking Hülkenberg:

According to media reports and voices,especially in the Netherlands,Verstappen's first choice would be Nico Hülkenberg as his Teammate,someone who could push him ...

The 39 year old Fernando Alonso is taking part in the young driver test that is taking place soon in Abu Dhabi. I'm sure the oldest young guy ever will impress his fellow rookie F1 drivers

As it seems,the Decision for Russell was not so "clear" and "easy" for Stoffel....

After Lewis Hamilton's corona illness, Stoffel Vandoorne once again hoped for a Formula 1 comeback in vain.
Despite his status as the official replacement driver for Mercedes, the Belgian has to watch this weekend.
Mercedes junior George Russell was given preference. Vandoorne now expressed his disappointment with the decision on Twitter. "I'm obviously disappointed not to get the chance to drive for Mercedes this weekend," said Vandoorne, who completed the Formula E test drives in Valencia on Tuesday and immediately set off for the United Arab Emirates.
The hope for the positive decision from Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff was great, but once more he looked down the pipe. "After traveling to all F1 races all year round and investing so much time, staying physically fit and devoting myself to this program, it hurts!" Said the 28-year-old, who attended 41 Grands Prix between 2016 and 2018 for McLaren, his debut, as luck would have it, in Bahrain, replacing the injured Fernando Alonso.

George is going to be a F1 world champion in two to three years time

Stoffel is still going to be a reserve driver in 2 to 3 years time and still racing shitty battery powered cars in Formula E

Another Bet ?

My "Guess":

Russell will suffer the same "Faith" like Max or our Gerhard Berger.
Wrong Team at the wrong Time.

- either the Team will be to weak (Remember the McLaren/Honda Disaster from 1990 to 1994....?)
I do not think Mercedes will be soo dominant in the next Years..maybe 2021 but then....
- or the "wrong" Teammate.If such "Hot Shots" like LeClerc or Mick Schumacher are in the "most compatible" Team,the "Oldies",yes Max will be then also One of them,will have no Chance against them.

Russell is maybe a very good Driver,but the "Field of good/very good Drivers" is also not small...
Albon can maybe "sing a Song" of this Story...

You have to be awesome and outstanding today,good or very good is not enough......


Outstanding today means - win Races with an Racing Point or Renault (maybe McLaren) today.
Drivers like Senna had such Potential.Today Drivers have simply not the understandings for a Car to (further) develope and Setup a Car ready to race.
A Lauda,Senna or Berger for Example spent hours and hours in the Garage between Sessions,spending Days of Developing Talks in the Factories....the have known/felt with their "Ass" when something was wrong with the Car..

Today - only sitting in dumb Computer Simulators...I understand,why Max had boycott the Virtual Grand Prix´s first...and that´s their own fault.Drivers today are Puppets and can be replaced at any time...there are enough younger ones there....
