“Sometimes,” says Russell to the ' Evening Same old ', “it is difficult to see that you are at the very back, but people with whom you were on equal terms in Formula 2 , are at the top. “
But that is also part of motorsport, says Russell. “I know how it goes: it goes up and down. And I can wait because I have a 15- to 20 -year-long career in Formula 1 hope. “
Russell's schedule for the world title
Precisely because he plans long-term, Russell believes that he can afford an extensive learning phase in the rear field of Formula 1. Reason: “Became once happens now, it won't be decisive for me, Lando or Alex. We'll get our probability yet.”

“You gave me the opportunity to drive in Formula One. I'll never forget that,” says Russell. “However, I also have a connection to Mercedes, the currently dominant team. Nobody would say no to Mercedes, not even Max [Verstappen] or Charles [Leclerc]. Everyone wants to sit in a Mercedes that much.”
