He isn’t wrong but at the same time that’s doing a disservice to not only Mick but also someone like Alex who has made his comeback run with Williams after being tossed around at Red Bull…

For all the calls to put Mick in the seat I’d ask why Toto, an often vocal supporter of getting Mick back on the grid, hasn’t filled the Mercedes vacancy with him? I think the truth many fans don’t want to accept is that the team principles just don’t rate him as highly as the fans do, even with his success in other series.

In a way it’s sad but it’s the nature of F1.
