After a disappointing Azerbaijan Grand Prix FP2, George Russell says Red Bull and Ferrari “just have an inherently faster car” than Mercedes.
Sebastian Vettel says when you’ve won “more than any other guy”, as Lewis Hamilton has, you can’t be excited about finishing “8th, or 12th, or 13th”.
Sky Sports F1’s Matt Morlidge says “Russell’s 34-point lead over Hamilton in the championship is not reflective of their actual speed in the car”.
Helmut Marko says Russell is “only 41 points behind Verstappen”, and “if Mercedes suddenly dominates everything again, then Hamilton will also come back”.
Lando Norris says if George Russell’s overtake at the Monaco GP “was a mega overtaking move, then he did a few s***e overtaking moves before that”.
Lewis and George are “more focused on trying to get the car further up the grid than they are worried about whether one’s just a bit ahead of the other or not”.
George Russell says there’s “more to come” from him in the 2022 season, as he announces that he still wants “to fight for this championship”.
George Russell talks about his journey after joining the Mercedes-AMG F1 Petronas team and his ambitions for the year and beyond.
Toto Wolff says Mercedes will “100 per cent” allow Lewis Hamilton and George Russell to race, “until a driver is mathematically out of contention”.
After finishing in P5 at the Monaco GP, George Russell says Mercedes needs to “find more downforce and we need to find more pace in qualifying”.
