David Coulthard has identified a driver who may potentially replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.
Indentifying GP3 champion George Russell as a young prodigy with the talent to be a success.
"He's with Mercedes as a reserve driver, so he wouldn't be known internationally but he's certainly someone that has got skills, talent and potential.
"Potential is a great word in sport, a lot of young guys get into it using the word potential. And then of course the fulness in time will tell us whether that potential is fulfilled. But I think he's one to watch."
