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 could have been posed by Toto Wolff, who believes Russell has clearly been one of the best for a long time.
“It's a bit unfair what's happening. Now everyone's talking about Lewis Hamilton; the seven-time world champion's move to Ferrari has dominated the conversation in Formula 1. Then there's Kimi Antonelli, who is genuinely very young and very talented, and is also our driver. At the same time, George is barely mentioned; he's in the invisible category. This isn't right, as he's one of the best in the sport. He's in the top three, but I dare say he's also in the top two, and he's well on his way to becoming the best. This was also demonstrated at the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give any driver a ten on a scale of one to ten for their performance, but George deserved a ten. It's impressive what he got out of the car, how he managed the tires, and how he executed the strategy. Only the greatest are capable of that,” praised his driver Toto Wolff.
