Certain fans and media outlets have started their usual campaign aimed at diminishing Lewis’s skills and accomplishments, and they are using George to do it.
George Russell says he doesn’t like to hype himself up in his pre-race rituals, and actually prefers to be calm and relaxed, “as if it’s any other day”.
Former F1 driver Marc Surer acknowledges the theory that George Russell is more used to driving ‘difficult’ cars, but says he’s “not worried about Lewis”.
George gives his comments on the speculation that Mercedes could revert to their original Barcelona chassis, which featured more conventional sidepods.
