Why? He's expected to dominate Latifi (he already did in F2) but why would that be hiarious? I've always liked the Williams team and would rather see both drivers, including Latifi, performing well so I hope that Latifi can up his game next year. Latifi's a rich billionaire son like Stroll & Mazepin but it may be also be said that Nicholas is also a nice bloke who works hard and doesn't behave like a spoiled brat (looking at you Nikita).
Now fingers crossed that Williams will build a good car next year, really want this team to improve. I was happy for Williams that both drivers managed a points finish in Hungary (and technically also at Spa but that wasn't really a race).
Because Russell has only been tested once against a known entity, Bottas. If Albon beats Latifi with a bigger margin than Russell did it would undermine Russell's quali performances at Williams, which is the base claim for his talents right now.
It would turn the relative driver talent ratings into an even bigger mess.
Sadly at the cost of Latifi though, who seems to be an alright lad, which definitely isn't a given with that amount of wealth.
