George doesn’t think the changing of Mercedes’ 2022 car concept “is going to make us go any faster”, and believes “maybe the contrary” is the way to go.
The Hungarian GP was the last race before the summer break, marking the end of the first half of the season, and once again, Hamilton and Russell delivered.
George Russell says Mercedes is definitely “closing that gap” in 2022, and will “probably fight for victories”, but they probably won’t be “outright quickest”.
George Russell says the FIA’s technical directive, which will put a stop to ‘flexi-floors’, is “not going to help” Red Bull and Ferrari, “that’s for sure”.
After getting P3 at the Hungarian Grand Prix, George Russell says it’s time to “reset, refocus, and try and fight for some victories” after the summer break.
