Lets assume Lewis Wins this weekend and decides enough is enough done it got 8 why potentially taint my legacy if George beats him next year.
What would mercedes do? Who would they put in there? Surely Bottas wouldn't stay? Thoughts
Leftfield, given the link between Merc and Aston Martin. Vettel?What would mercedes do? Who would they put in there? Surely Bottas wouldn't stay? Thoughts
I mean this is all fantasist musing anyway right?
Contracts all have buy out clauses, Merc have previously sniffed around Lando too....

I think he should stay on as defacto #2 next year. Hand the reins over to George and be the rear gunner that Bottas never was, unless George fluffs it in which case he can charge on.
I don't think he has it in him to not try to beat his teammate. None of the top drivers do; even Bottas seemed, each year, to genuinely believe he would be fighting for the title. kambites said:

Well in fairness, Bottas is allowed to genuinely fight for the title.... It is just there is a Lewis getting in the way....... Jasandjules said:

There is a massive elephant in the room on this question, which is the new regulations coming next year.
Each team will be up-selling how close their computer says the new car will be, compared to the old one - but who wants to do an Alonso, constantly moving to a team on the way down?
