before George Russell's partner in Mercedes was an experienced Lewis Hamilton, and this year the debutant Andrea Kimi Antonelli will not want to give way to the wheel of the second car.
George Russell: “Competition with Antonelli will keep me in good shape, there is no doubt about that. I remember myself at the age of 18 and understand that then I was as fast as today. But I became more experienced. I know how to cope with the pressing of Formula 1, with everything related to the work of a team of 2000 people, but from the point of view of speed it is either or not. I think that Kimi has a speed, so I give him his due.
I hope we will work with him as one team. I look forward to the opportunity to evaluate its achievements. But I understand that it will not be easy. You can not underestimate the rivals, even if this is your partner. I remember myself at this age, when I all wanted to prove something. ”
