George Russell returns to the scene of his only Formula 1 victory so far in Brazil this weekend very much on the losing side of Mercedes’ intra-team battle. Does his theory about the points deficit to Lewis Hamilton stack up?
The Brazilian Grand Prix comes at a perfect time for George Russell, as Mercedes has been performing strongly with an upgraded car recently, just like they did in 2022. Russell hopes to repeat his victory from last year at Interlagos and disrupt Red Bull’s dominance. However, this year, Lewis Hamilton has been making a bigger contribution to Mercedes’ success, leading the team’s charge against Ferrari. There has been a contrast in points between Hamilton and Russell this season, but with the upgraded car, Hamilton’s performance advantage has been evident. Russell believes that specific issues have held him back in recent races, but he is optimistic about Brazil and hopes to demonstrate his true potential.
