George Russell says he thinks him and Lewis Hamilton have “pretty similar” driving styles, and he has no doubt that they’ll be “working well together”.
Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz thinks George Russell “will push Hamilton but when he’s told to by the team”, but he will “also submit as a second driver”.
George Russell said Mercedes is “certainly not ahead of” McLaren and Ferrari, which prompted Lando Norris to say: “if he thinks we’re strong, we’re going to think he’s strong”.
After the second day of testing, George Russell gave his opinion on Mercedes’ pace and the issues caused by the new cars ‘porpoising’ on the straights.
