George Russell says Mercedes has “closed this gap massively”, and if they have “two good race weekends” in Hungary and Belgium, then they’ll “be fast everywhere”.
After Mercedes’ two consecutive wins in Austria and Britain, George Russell says the team is still behind Red Bull and McLaren, but they are now able to fight for victories.
“Max is a long way out in front, and Lando’s in a pretty solid P2,” the Briton said.
“But I think the goal for us for the rest of the year is just to try and win as many more races as possible. Of course, we’ve closed this gap massively.

“We’ve had two really great races in the last four. But still, when you look at it, Max has still won two of those races, finished second in another, should have finished second in Austria.
“It’s not been a bad run of form for those guys either, so we’re no doubt closer than ever. We just need to see this race weekend, and in Spa.
“I think if we have two good race weekends here, we’ll be fast everywhere,” Russell concluded.
