Mercedes has built an F1 MONSTER and Russell cannot hide it
If I was going to share my deepest darkest secrets with anyone on the F1 grid, it wouldn’t be George Russell, as he seems to be holding some significant information close to his chest. It’s clear that most F1 teams and drivers are keeping their pace and performance confidential, especially with the Australian Grand Prix still a month away after just two days of testing. George Russell, however, exudes confidence, hinting at potential success for Mercedes this season. Russell expressed his motivation to win following his first Barcelona shakedown, emphasizing the importance of upcoming testing in Bahrain. Mercedes, with rumored advantages in the new engine regulations, might indeed have a competitive edge come Melbourne, based on recent FIA evaluations and Russell’s optimistic demeanor.
