George Russell is eager to take part in the Miami Grand Prix, the Briton is looking to bounce back after two second-place finishes in China and Japan.
The two Asian races in China and Japan netted George Russell two second-place finishes, with his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli triumphing. Two difficult, but nevertheless satisfying, weekends for the British driver, who is now eager to resume the title race starting with the Miami race. There’s a lot of interest in seeing how much the new changes introduced by the FIA will revolutionize the championship, but the season is very long, and the title fight could also involve other teams.
Here are Russell’s words in detail:“I feel great heading into Miami. It’s been an extraordinary start to 2026 for Mercedes, and I’m off to a really good start. I had a challenging race in Suzuka, but the season is very long and we have a great package at our disposal: that’s the most important thing.” “.
Number 63 then added: “I feel confident; this break was a good way to rest, and I’m ready to go again. I also really like Miami: it’s a fast and flowing track, offering good overtaking opportunities. Let’s see how the weather plays out: in recent years, thunderstorms have barely missed the track. That’s a factor that could have an impact.” “.
