Definite possibility, but also Russel has more experience driving a shitty car than Hamilton, so he can probably cope better with the instabilities.

Also,

Sure but then the other teams promptly went into qualifying mode and opened a gap again. They're definitely not out of the running for winning races but it doesn't seem as if they will dominate tomorrow. Only way we'll know is after seeing tomorrow's results.

The first phase of the Remote Operations Centre is now online at the FIA Headquarters in Geneva, and functions in the following capacity:

Procedural and regulatory matters may be referred to the ROC, which operates in an advisory capacity and will not interrupt the workflow of the Race Direction team onsite or cause any delay to the decision-making process

While similar in principle to the 'VAR' in football, the ROC will act as a supporting resource for the Race Direction team with data comparable to that of more than ten simultaneous football matches, including over 140 video and audio sources


The ROC provides an additional resource for the FIA to thoroughly replay and review aspects of the Competition and the decisions made in order to refine and improve procedures for the future. It does not have any regulatory power and cannot be used to reassess or alter past decisions.

As the Remote Operations Centre is developed, it will become a valuable training and educational resource for of the next generation of Race Control staff and Stewards. Its benefits, we are told, will later extend to other FIA Championships and the wider international community of FIA National Sporting Authorities (ASNs).

So in future the Team Principals will be cough caught between a ROC and a Hard Place when trying to influence a result.

I suspect Russel is the better driver between him and Hamilton, but Hamilton has more experience in providing feedback and setup info for the engineers to get the car working.
Unpopular opinion.
I reckon Gasly is better than Russlel.

Also, it looks like sandbags only come off for Merc tomorrow.
And if Ferrar have built a rocketship.
It is going to explode during a race this season.

If you watched testing and Practice it is not surprising, but for a MB Fan it is worrying that they are so far back.
I missed the FP session to be honest.. But the race will be interesting I reckon
