The Mercedes junior driver who filled for Hamilton at last seasons Sakhir Grand Prix, will fill the vacancy which opened when Bottas opted to moved to Alfa Romeo next season.
So far this season Russell sits fifteenth in the Drivers' Standings with thirteen points, with his best race finish of second at Spa back in August.
In my opinion, this is not a big surprise this news happen. It has been strongly rumoured since last seasons Sakhir Grand Prix when Russell out-performed Bottas in Mercedes. When that race happen, it was a matter of when Russell gets the Mercedes drive full time.
Its great news for the Mercedes team as they have got a talented Grand Prix driver in George Russell.
