There will have been a time in 2022 when George Russell went into psychological distress and said “But who made me do it?“. Who made him put up with three years in Williams just to race for Mercedes, in short. At the beginning of the year it was a legitimate question, because the W13 was seconds behind the best. However, Russell shows much more than his 24 years and has a noteworthy mental soundness, an aspect that also emerged in Brazil, when he was able to stand up to the pressure of a certain Lewis Hamilton without missing a corner and conquered the well-deserved first success of his career .
What allowed him to achieve this goal was also and above all the growth of Mercedes after the introduction of the TD039 directive aimed at eliminating the porpoising. And now that he can tackle a full season with a competitive car? Now comes the fun part, the Briton hopes: “The factory is buzzing right now. I think the progress made over the year has been exciting. I think everyone wants to make sure may this year’s experience not be repeated and that we can finally fight for the World Cup“, these are the words of Russell to the Hitchhiking Awards. “Everyone is pushing hard and we hope that when we hit the track in Bahrain we will be fighting for the championship“.
