Russell left a mark on the Germans due to his mentality of going for the gold during the Canadian Grand Prix. Moreover, looking at the current machinery, everyone expects Russell to secure a top-six position.
However, the 2016 World champion explained how Russell going for the gold impressed him. He stated: “I am going for gold. I am going to put my slicks on, as the only driver. I just care about pole position. That is awesome, that’s really, really awesome. It’s amazing to watch at the moment.”
Good weekend that! Closer to the front on pace and another podium for the team. Congrats to LH on the P3. Home race up next. 🇬🇧 pic.twitter.com/JYo4tbMkJW
