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 asked by Toto Wolff, who believes that Russell has clearly been among the best for a long time.
"What's happening is a bit unfair. Right now everyone is talking about Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion's transfer to Ferrari has taken over the Formula 1 public discourse. Then there's Kimi Antonelli, who is really very young and very skilled, and he's our driver. At the same time, George is hardly mentioned, he's the invisible category. This is really not right, because he's one of the best in the sport. He's in the top 3, but I dare say that he's also in the top 2, and he's very well on his way to becoming the best. This was also evident at the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give a 10 out of 10 to any driver's performance, but George deserved a 10. What he got out of the car, how he handled the tires and executed the strategy, is impressive. Only the greatest are capable of this," Toto Wolff praised his sky-high competitor.
