I think he'll go for it and Mercedes will want to see just that as make no mistake they are looking for the heir apparent for the ageing Lewis not a team mate really.

George has proved what an immense talent he is already and having Bottas with Lewis suits them for the next year or so I think.

If he deferred to Lewis it would demonstrate what a poor team player he is tbh.

Who is to say Mercedes will be the team to be with next year anyway wink
