I would fully expect Lewis to have the advantage straight out of the box. Michael was outpacing Nico a fair bit this year, in his mid-40s, I suspect Lewis to be a fair few tenths quicker than the ageing Michael.
I expect Lewis to dominate him, and receive more plaudits for his Mercedes showings than he ever did at McLaren. I reckon we'll look back in years to come at this move by Lewis and see it as extremely shrewd for his reputation, even if not for his number of trophies...
