Better still release him so he can go wherever, too late now seats are almost gone

Hiya, not sure he wants to be released Lotus, there's a Mercedes seat he's got his eye on, wouldn't surprise me if Toto has offered Esteban Valtteri's seat already, (in a year) we know how highly he thinks of him.

Thing is Paps let’s see where he goes in the Williams (if he gets a seat) personally I don’t think you’ll see him replace Bottas in the Merc if there is a smooth and orderly servant happy to be No.2 well why rock the boat? Plus what if Russell puts in some sterling performances in the Williams he is part of Mercedes programme so might get the jump! I wouldn’t be surprised not to see Ocon in 2020
