“And the team have been so great. They’ve given us both equal opportunities. It’s always been that from the outset.
“And whenever upgrades are bringing to the car, it’s going to both of us at the same time, whereas other teams they go one before the other.
“And that’s always the way at Mercedes, they want to give both drivers the best chance of achieving the best results.
“And then going into next year, no matter who my team-mate is going to be, that will still continue to be the same,” Russell concluded.
