Such a shame Russell threw it away. Now he’s last in the championship, like he was last season

He has also just been confirmed for next year.

As improved as the Williams appears to be in qualifying I am struggling to figure out how they are going to score points this year. An observation I hope will be shown to be catastrophically wrong this weekend...

They have a good engine and some good drivers so you would think that as they improve the car then surely they will pick up a few points this year

Good engine, questionable transmission, one weak driver, one driver mixed opinions on. They might get a few points, they might not.

"One driver mixed opinions on"

Presumably you mean Aitken!

Just because some may have mixed opinions on a driver, it doesn’t mean he’s not the next big thing.

But it has been noted before now that driving and winning in easily the best car in GP3 and F2 doesn’t necessarily help develop racecraft.

Williams have been very weak, but where fortune has presented a chance to nick a point or two, the driver you refer to has not taken those chances and generally been I n the boondocks etc.

If he can’t totally outpace Latifi in races it’s not going to look too great.

So both Russell and Latifi are staying. For Russell it must have been tempting to hold on for a better seat becoming available. Maybe he has a get out clause somewhere just in case, I wouldn't be surprised

Latifi has done alright so far. No megastar stuff, but he hasn't been a complete disaster. He wasn't far off Russell's race pace last weekend

You would imagine that Aston Martin will be Russell's future after Williams (2022?) - Mercedes engine to keep him 'on brand' and a British driver in AMR colours in F1 would be good surely?

I don't think there are many doubts about Russell's credentials?

If Latifi gets near him, the Canadian will be very well regarded.

Indeed, Russell has been a bit unlucky not to have scored yet. People have compared his first season in F1 to that of Alonso’s. Both getting the maximum out of the worst car on the grid and occasionally punching above their weight

If you were involved in a team I’m not sure you would call (over)driving into the gravel as bad luck!

I mean generally he has been unlucky, for it seems often he has driven well for no reward. For example he completely dominated team mate Kubica last season, yet it was Kubica who got the team their only point! Almost any other weekend he would have been the one to get it. And let’s not forget the first race of the season either

Ah, come on! He's a racer and compared to someone like Vettel, Russell looks like a seasoned campaigner in terms of keeping it on the track!

Lol, maybe yes. I just said there was a mixed opinion and, when challenged, explained why. I never said the boy was no good.
