I think it was always likely that Russell was going to make it to Mercedes, this race (and his stand out moments from 2021) probably just meant Mercedes were sure he was the right man for the job. And he really is the right man, he’s done a phenomenal job at keeping up with Hamilton and he’s only a kilo off being a three time winner with a much less competitive Mercedes.
