The words of the English driver on the eve of Miami
George Russell arrives in Miami with nine points to recover in the standings compared to his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who took the lead by winning again in Suzuka after celebrating his first career victory in China. Below are Russell’s words ahead of a very important weekend after the long forced break.
Break too long
“After seven days I already wanted to race again, I missed the race weekends. In the end, time passed quickly between work on the simulator at the factory and karting days with Toto’s son.”
Mercedes updates in Canada
“Other teams will have many updates, but originally they were planned for Bahrain or Saudi Arabia, they will have them all in Miami only because of the break. We will have a package of new developments in Canada.”

The approach does not change
“Does my approach change now that Antonelli is leading the World Championship? Not at all, the marathon has just begun, Antonelli had a great start to the season, but in the last race for example he was also lucky and there will be other races where incidents might favor me.”
