George Russell

It feels like an age that Russell has been waiting for a chance in a top car since his impressive but fruitless one-off for Mercedes in the 2020 Sakhir GP. Russell is now in an ideal position to make the most of Hamilton’s experience and quality. He’ll undoubtedly give his team-mate major worries, though Russell will want to keep his Mercedes future in mind before he creates the sorts of waves Nico Rosberg did. This is a fascinating subplot for F1 this year.
