f1i.com/news/416043-wolff-mercedes-has-chosen-between-russell-and-bottas.htmlToto says the decision has been made and it wasn't easy. I'm a little confused because choosing between Russell and Bottas would be a no question decision. When the two raced head to head in equal equipment last year in Bahrain, Russell dominated Bottas and passed him quite spectacularly. Today Russell qualified a back marker of a car ahead of both Mercs. Yeah, that's a real tough decision.

Was Toto waiting for last competitive seat at RB to be filled first?

Albon to Williams might be good. At least he won't be expected to be Max every week.
My opinion of Perez is that with 10 years experience he should be more of a threat to Mercedes and Max.

I don't see anyone being a threat to Max. IMHO, which is not really humble but much derided, he's the best driver on the grid at this time. Certainly raw speed. Judgement is getting better every day.

Overall no, occasionally, yes he should be closer.

Perez' biggest problem in the current can't pass meta is a lack of qualifying pace, his race pace is good and his tire management is second to none. I think RB gave him another year to see how his talent applies the the new cars, if they DO allow for more passing starting position becomes less important than race pace tire management and pit strategy. He doesn't have to be as fast as Max, just close enough to protect him from an undercut and to also give RB an alternate race strategy.

Gio hasn't lived up to Ferrari's expectations, he should be regularly outpacing Kimi by now.

Prediction: Sauber --> Andretti. Bottas --> Sauber (Andretti). Kimi --> Retirement. Looks like 2 out of 3 so far ...

Seems like lots of different reports on who will get the 2nd Alfa seat. Dieter says it'll be DeVries. BTW Hughes also reported Albon to Williams.

Kimi just posted in Instagram that this is his last season in F1. He decided last winter.
