Russell: “Antonelli leader? The marathon has just begun, in Canada we will have updates”

The words of the English driver on the eve of Miami George Russell arrives in Miami with nine points to make up in the standings compared to his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli who took command of operations also triumphing in Suzuka after celebrating the first career victory in China. Below are Russell’s words ahead of a very important weekend after the long forced break. Break too long “After seven days I already wanted to go back to racing, I missed the race weekends. In the end the time also passed quickly between work on the simulator in the factory and days of karting in the company of Toto’s son”. Mercedes updates in Canada “The other teams will have many updates, but they were originally scheduled for them in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia, they will only have them all in Miami due to the break. We will have a package of new features in Canada.” The approach does not change “What if my approach changes now that Antonelli is leading the World Championship? Not at all, the marathon has just begun, Antonelli had a great start to the season, but in the last race for example he was also lucky and there will be other races in which the episodes will perhaps reward me”.
