There’s no anthem in Russia this week, which is a shame because it’s an absolute tune. Do they really need to be so skullduggerous they deprive us of it? By way of compensation, let’s indulge ourselves with this.
George Russell is “just excited”, feeling no pressure and looking forward to getting going. They don’t have the fastest car, he says, but thinks they do have the fastest car on the straight so are well-equipped to defend a position. He doesn’t reckon the start will be definitive, but is hoping for a nice slipstream from his big buddies in front.
