The Ex-William’s driver George Russell , who will be driving alongside seven time world champion Lewis Hamilton for the 2022 season says he is not eyeing the drivers title yet .
“It’s not even something I’m thinking about, to be honest. I think it’s quite incredible how racing drivers’ minds work, that when you put the helmet on – doesn’t matter if you’re fighting for a win or, for me for the last few years, fighting at the back of the grid – you always get on with the exact same mindset.
“And I had the best example of that in Bahrain when I raced for Mercedes [in 2020]. For me, that was just another race, whether I was out in front or starting on the front row, the approach is the same, the mindset is the same, the work you put into the event, post-event, is exactly the same. So, work on the process and worry about everything afterwards.”
Russell completed 209 laps over 3 days of the Pre-season testing in Barcelona .
With the Official Pre-season testing starting from March 10 to 12 , Mercedes have confirmed that both their drivers will be hitting the team’s simulator to hone the W13 .
