After Australia, everyone was talking about Kimi Antonelli; after China, everyone was talking about Oscar Piastri and the drama at Scuderia Ferrari. But why is no one talking about George Russell?
Toto Wolff could also have asked the question, as he believes that Russell has clearly been one of the best for a long time.
"It's a bit unfair what's happening here. Everyone's talking about Lewis Hamilton right now; the seven-time world champion's move to Ferrari has dominated the discussion in Formula 1. Then there's Kimi Antonelli, who is really very young and very talented, and also our driver. At the same time, hardly anyone talks about George; he belongs to the invisible category. That's not good, because he's one of the best drivers in the sport. He's in the top three, but I'd even venture to say he's also among the top two and is well on his way to becoming the best. This was also evident at the Chinese Grand Prix. I would never give a driver full marks on a scale of 1 to 10, but George deserves a 10. It's impressive what he got out of the car, how he treated the tires and executed the strategy. Only the greatest are capable of that," Toto Wolff praised his driver highly.
