Russell ‘calls’ Ferrari and Verstappen for the championship comeback: “The more the merrier”

The Englishman is -40 behind Antonelli. With his second success of the season in Austria after the one achieved at the beginning of the season in Australia, George Russell is back in second place in the Drivers’ standings, 40 points behind his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli. On the horizon for Russell is his home GP at Silverstone, a weekend in which around 570 thousand spectators are expected in the Northamptonshire temple. Asked in the press conference whether he prefers a two-way fight between himself and Antonelli or a ‘fight’ with multiple candidates competing for the title or in any case for the top positions, Russell responded by preferring the second option. “I would like to see a great battle with the best drivers and the best teams fighting each other – Russell’s words – so the Ferraris, the McLarens with Hamilton, Leclerc, Norris, Piastri and obviously Max too. A bit like in the go-karting days when the opponent was always different. However, even in F2, F3 and F4 there were three, four, five drivers all fighting and that’s how it should be”.
