Here's my opinion: Now that Russell has had a season in the Merc biosphere, he'll outqualify and outscore Lulu the majority of the time from here on out. The problem with that is, he'll also become an insufferable dooshbag thanks to the Toto influence that seems to permeate (this is my perception) the Mercedes team.

As evidence, last weekend in Singapore, when he drove into Mick Schumacher's Haas and got all indignant until his race engineer had to remind him who hit who.

I hope I'm wrong.

Edit, to answer the question, yes, Louie will win races. He hasn't forgotten how to drive.
