George Russell took Hamilton’s seat for the Sakhir GP – and was on course to win before what Wolff called a ‘colossal f***-up’.

But Russell will likely be dropped again with Hamilton seemingly fit and ready to partner Valtteri Bottas in Abu Dhabi – the final race of 2020.

However, eagle-eyed fans reckon Russell could pinch Bottas’ seat for 2021 after the Finn removed all mention of Mercedes from his Instagram bio.

Russell, meanwhile, removed all mention of Williams – having spent 2020 on loan at the team before being recalled for Sakhir.
