After Australia, everyone was talking about Kimi Antonelli, after China, everyone was talking about Oscar Piastre and the Scuderia Ferrari drama. But why is no one talking about George Russell?
The question could also have been asked by Toto Wolff, who claims that Russell has clearly been among the best for a long time.
"It's a bit unfair what's happening. Now everyone is talking about Lewis Hamilton, his move to Ferrari has dominated the discussion in Formula 1. Then there's Kimi Antonelli, who is really young and very talented, and he's our driver. On the other hand, George is hardly talked about, he's in the invisible category. That's not right because he's one of the best in the sport. He's in the top 3, but I dare say in the top 2, and he's very well on his way to becoming the best. That was also shown at the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give a 10 out of 10 to any driver, but George deserved a 10. It's amazing what he was able to get out of the car, how he handled the tyres and implemented the strategy. Only the greatest can do that." - praised his driver Toto Wolff.
