Drivers
George Russell

While Russell had Lewis Hamilton covered last year, the silverware his elder compatriot piled up at Mercedes cast a mighty shadow; now, with Hamilton in red, Mercedes is a team Russell can lead, and he’s ready.
Russell doubled his career win tally last year with a fortuitous victory in Austria and a flawless one in Las Vegas, while his stance against Max Verstappen after their Qatar controversy was one of a driver confident in his talent and what he stands for, and not one who’ll quietly accept being pushed around as he enters the prime years of his career.
