Given that this is a trending subject in other threads, and Wolff's still skeptical take on Russell's performances, I thought this would be an interesting topic. Personally, I believe too much emphasis is being placed on George's crash in Imola, and that weaker drivers who made plenty of mistakes were promoted to top seats in the past. Then there is the argument that his race pace on Sundays is rather inconsistent, but I see that more of a car limitation than a driver limitation: the Williams might be a better qualifying car than a race car, there are plenty of examples of similar cars out there. As a side note, there is a solid article by The Race, evaluating his performance that gives a bit of balance to the criticism: https://the-race.com...-or-a-weakness/
The question is would an additional year at Williams do him any good? Or has he already earned that spot at the very top?
