After Australia, everyone was talking about Kimi Antonelli, after China, everyone was talking about Oscar Piastri and the Scuderia Ferrari drama. But why is no one talking about George Russell?
The question may also have been asked by Toto Wolff, who believes Russell is clearly among the best in a long time.
“It’s a bit unfair what’s happening. Now everyone is talking about Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, whose move to Ferrari has dominated the debate in Formula 1. And then there’s Kimi Antonelli, who is really very young and very talented, and on top of that he’s our driver. At the same time, George is barely talked about, he’s in the invisible category. That’s not good, as he’s one of the best in the sport. He’s in the top 3, and I dare say even in the top two, and he’s well on his way to becoming the best. That was also evident in the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give any driver a ten on a scale of 1 to 10, but George deserved a 10. It’s impressive what he got out of the car, how he managed the tyres and executed the strategy. Only the greatest are capable of that,” praised his driver Toto Wolff.
