George Russell has been named a Mercedes' F1 driver for the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, replacing Lewis Hamilton, while Jack Aitken will make his F1 debut with Williams Racing.
The Mercedes' dynamic duo of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas along with Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen have dominated through the first six races of the 2020 Formula One World Championship season.
Ferrari paced the field all weekend in practice, but then qualifying came and Charles Leclerc, who led the Ferrari charge, crashed in the second round of qualifying. Instead, Mercedes locked out the front row and it was Valtteri Bottas' day on the streets of Baku.
Lewis Hamilton did everything in his power he could to be champion with a win in Abu Dhabi, but it wasn't meant to be as teammate Nico Rosberg finished right behind him to claim the bigger prize.
Daniel Ricciardo was content to settle for second or third, but a late race reliability issue for one of the Mercedes drivers allowed him to take the lead and score the victory.
