George Russell

I think any team wants to have the best driver line-up possible.

Lewis is obviously the greatest of all time and Max, everyone knows how fast and talented he is.

I want to do everything possible that will make me go faster because ultimately I'm a racing driver and that's what we're here to do. To do the best job possible.

I'm really enjoying being part of Mercedes, seeing how they operate as a team.

Does listening to positive feedback make me faster? No. It probably boosts my ego slightly but it doesn't make me any faster. And equally listening to negative feedback doesn't make me faster either.

I don't think any driver would be naive to think they could go up against a seven-time world champion and have it easy. Because a guy like Lewis is who he is because of his speed and determination.
