Russell reflects on his season so far ahead of Mexico
George Russell, who recently extended his Mercedes contract, believes he and the team are consistently extracting the best possible results from races, despite sitting P4 in the Drivers' Championship. The Briton has secured two wins in Canada and Singapore, along with six additional podiums this season. While acknowledging a slight disappointment from Austin, Russell emphasized the fine margins in F1. He remains mathematically in the title fight but realistically views Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, or Max Verstappen as the primary contenders, noting McLaren's perceived car advantage. Russell anticipates the championship battle could shift significantly after the Mexico City Grand Prix, depending on McLaren's performance.
