F1 Gossip: Russell ‘ready’ for Mercedes chance alongside Hamilton
- George Russell says he feels “ready” to fight📖 for r💃ace wins and world championships alongside Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.
The current Williams driver has been heavily linked with a promotion to Mercedes for 2022 in place of Valtteri Bottas and spoke about the possibility of becoming Hamilton’s next F1 teammate ahead of this weekend's Br𒀰itish Grand Prix.
“I guess, hypothetically, that could be exciting to some, especially British fans,” Russell told The Silverstone Podcast. "But I won’t talk about hypotheticals just yet. As I said, I🌠 just want to be fighting for victories, fighting for world championships.
“I feel ready. I’ve spent three years working my way up from the back to the midfield, performing at my absolute maximum, trying to get the most out of m🧔y team around me. And I think we’ve done a really good job and a really solid job.
“But it is different when you are fighting for victories and fighting for championships, as I experienced in my junior career. That’s what I live for and hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later. I got a small tasteꦕ last year, but I want to taste it week in, week out.” ()
