From time to time, in the Formula 1 championship appears a driver who, from the very beginning of his career, leaves no doubt that he is a rare and special talent. George Russell is one of them.
So far, only on paper, he is more talented than his peers. This is only because, during the transfer from the younger series, George ended up in Williams, where there is no point even floundering. All that can be achieved is to become the best among the worst, even though Williams was looking pretty good in the previous season. George was patient and waited for his star moment and in this season he will become a Mercedes driver. But was Russell’s path easy to the seven-time world champion’s team? And what will await him there?
If, after the new regulations, Mercedes continue to dominate, Russell will have to compete on an equal footing with Hamilton or just be slightly inferior to him, and wait for Lewis to leave Formula 1 altogether.
One thing is clear, George will be at a whole new level. For Hamilton, he will pose a significantly greater threat than Bottas. George has the character of a champion and will strive to renew his winning streak from junior times. For sure, the Mercedes drivers will create a rustle throughout the championship 2022.
