George Russell says Mercedes is “focused on maximising mileage for learning rather than chasing an optimum sweet spot with the car”.
George says in testing and the first race “you have no idea how this car is going to perform”, only at round 3, 4 or 5, “you’ve got an idea or an expectation of your performance”.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says the team wants to make Lewis Hamilton’s “final year with us as successful as we can”.

After it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of 2024 to go to Ferrari, George Russell sent a message to his team-mate.

In 2023, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were involved in several close on-track clashes. George explains why those are “normal”.
Toto Wolff says George Russell is “a young, strong driver, racing on a team with the best driver and challenging him, trying to beat him while he learns”.
