George Russell enters the 2026 Formula 1 season as the favourite, but will the Mercedes man deliver?
Transcript
00:00He's a really good driver and I've been trying to learn as much as possible from him.
00:04I still am backing George to win the championship and I think he's a consistent, a very consistent
00:10driver. He's shown that last year and given a race-winning car I absolutely think he's
00:16ready and one of the best drivers on the grid.
00:32Really excited to get going into this season. Obviously there's been so much hard work
00:37going into producing this car. The power unit's been in production for a number of years now and
00:44obviously this car. Everybody at Brackley's been working so hard over the last 12-14 months to
00:50prepare it and just really excited to go racing now.
01:01Yeah, it's relentless. We haven't stopped obviously in the factories. The work has been going on
01:07non-stop and the drivers were in the simulator a lot over the winter also. So it was the shortest
01:14break we've ever had. I do think that Mercedes have clearly found something very, very clever.
01:20The interesting point is that they were going to sort of potentially ban it or come up with the
01:28scenario early. If we get to August and Mercedes are 300 points clear, it kind of doesn't matter at
01:35that point, does it? And that's probably the big concern.
01:38We'll see you soon.
01:39.
