Russell on Antonelli title fight and Mercedes future

Mercedes driver George Russell, currently second in the Drivers' standings, is preparing for the Miami Grand Prix following the season's early break. While Russell hopes for a continued title battle with teammate Kimi Antonelli, he remains cautious about the progress of rival teams like McLaren. He emphasizes a race-by-race approach, focusing on maximizing performance rather than the championship standings at this early stage. Russell is also working to refine his race execution, specifically targeting improvements in race starts and Safety Car restarts after experiencing procedural difficulties in Japan. Regarding his future, the Briton reaffirmed his commitment to Mercedes, confirming that his multi-year contract secures his position with the team for the upcoming seasons.
