George Russell said something a little ambiguously, but it's all the more true the other day: The British driver believes that the transformation and change after Lewis Hamilton's departure could be to his team's advantage.
It is almost an open secret that Andrea Kimi Antonelli will be given the seat of Lewis Hamilton, who has signed for Scuderia Ferrari, and to facilitate this, the FIA has also lifted the so-called "Verstappen rule" last week. According to Russell, the moment has come when renewal is needed, and not only for Hamilton...
"We need a restart, a fresh start, but this doesn't just apply to Lewis, it applies to the team as well. This applies to us too, after so many difficult years, sometimes it's inevitable to make changes. This will be such a situation now, a clean slate, which I'm convinced will be good for everyone. In recent years, my teammate has been one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1, so from my point of view it doesn't really matter whether a seasoned driver or a rookie gets into our other car. This is only Toto Wolff's competence, and I'm sure he will make the best possible decision, we will have a very strong team!" - said George Russell.
