Wolff: "If Russell works like this, he will be the best"

After Australia, everyone was talking about Kimi Antonelli, after China, everyone was discussing Oscar Piastri and the Scuderia Ferrari drama. But why is no one talking about George Russell?

The question could have been raised by Toto Wolff, who believes 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, the seven-time world champion's move to Ferrari has dominated the Formula 1 discourse. Then there's Kimi Antonelli, who is indeed very young and very talented, plus he is our driver. At the same time, hardly anyone is mentioning George; he belongs to the invisible category. This is not right, as he is one of the best in the sport. He is in the top 3, but I would even boldly state that he is in the top 2, and he is on a very good path to becoming the best. This was also evident in the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give a score of ten to any driver on a scale of 1 to 10, but George deserved a 10. What he extracted from the car, how he managed the tires, and executed the strategy was impressive. Only the greatest can do this." - praised his driver to the skies Toto Wolff.
