Todt explains that a great driver needs a great car for success

It is often debated upon the Formula 1 circles whether Hamilton would have so many championships without the car.

Is it the car or the driver?

Todt said, “a great driver, if he doesn’t have a great car, will not be able to achieve results.”

He pointed out that this fact was seen again at the Sakhir Grand Prix as George Russell drove that Silver Arrow beast to the limits. He stated, “You have a number of drivers who would be able to win Grand Prix if they drove the Mercedes.”

“It’s only a matter of time for him to sign his 100th pole position, his 100th Grand Prix victory. And, if things do not change for the competition, his 8th world championship,” he further added.
