After George Russell showed how easy it was to drive Louis Hamilton's F1 car, Mercedes have decided to slash millions from their driver budget for next season and employ a sloth to be their number one driver.
A spokesman for the team said negotiations over Hamilton's contract were already at a tricky stage, but Russell's staggering debut showed just how easy it was for anyone to be plonked in the car and do the business.
"The sloth's remarkably quick in the car." he told us. "But he's not quite up to speed when it comes to getting from the driver's area to the start line."
