George Russell speculated to be struck by Williams in 2021

George Russell is currently one of the highest rated young talents in Formula 1. The Mercedes product was sent to Williams by the Hegemony to feed him for the future of Mercedes.

However, it has been speculated that Mercedes’s plans could be curtailed because of Williams’s other lucrative interests.

The British team looks to Sergio Perez, who has to leave Racing Point at the end of the season. Currently the Mexican driver is without a seat and is considering his options.

He reportedly had a word with Haas, but when Günther Steiner confirmed that the American F1 team is negotiating the sale of the team with Dmitry Mazepin, it is evident that the Russian billionaire will promote his son – currently an F2 driver Nikita Mazepin.

So reduce a space for Perez and invalidate the dialog directly. Williams sees this opportunity and is now interested in hiring Perez.

Why does Williams want to hire Sergio Perez?

Aside from the fact that Perez is a fabulous driver and the new owners are likely to be success driven too. There are other gains when Williams hires Perez.

F1 is an expensive sport that requires heavy investments to stay competitive on a regular basis. To help Williams, Perez has colossal financial backing from domestic telecommunications companies Telmex and Telcel.

This makes him a fruitful prospect for Williams as they want to reduce the deficit with other teams and will only do so when money can be spent on the car.

In this case, Nicholas Latifi is sacrosanct with his family sponsoring Williams to make him drive, and that’s why Russell is an easy scapegoat, just like Esteban Ocon in 2018.
