Berger also watched with interest the brilliant performance of Hamilton’s replacement in the second race of Bahrain, the young George Russell.
About upcoming talks for a new contract Hamilton z Mercedes but he said: “I would say here that it is a matter of money. Russell showed that the predominant factor was the race car, as he was a sovereign leader in the race until the complication in the pits. Now Mercedes has an argument that it can say, 'Lewis, get down a little with your demands!'"
Berger: Russell has shown that the predominant factor of Mercedes is the race car.

As far as I know, Bottas has a valid contract for the 2021 season. They have committed to perform with him in the future," so Austrian, which adds: "Bottas doesn't have Russell's speed. Whether they would decide behind the scenes to go the other way, I wouldn’t know."
