Inak len tak k téme ako Toto o GR nerozpráva a nepodporuje ho a ako len Russell tvrdí, že je tu na to aby vyhrával !
Speaking to ORF, Wolff highlighted the fierce competition at the front of the grid and Russell’s determination to fight for victories.
“The drivers who are driving for a victory at the front are all tough and brutal and absolutely want that.”
With Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Russell has now taken the lead role at Mercedes. Wolff is confident that he can handle the responsibility.
“I don’t think the heated battle may have changed much, but George wants to, and George doesn’t put up with anything. It’s the same on the other side.”
Wolff acknowledged that Russell has been somewhat overshadowed by big moves in the driver market, including Hamilton’s Ferrari switch and the arrival of Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes.
“Of course, you see, or you forget, when you talk about Verstappen or Hamilton or even Andrea, what great successes George has had. He’s a bit overshadowed by all these announcements.”
Despite the attention elsewhere, Wolff remains confident in Russell’s ability to succeed if Mercedes provides a competitive car.
“George is right at the front and if we are able to give a fast car, then he will compete for a world championship. But we haven’ t managed to do that so far.”
