Toto Wolff has recently predicted George Russell’s future performance after the Canadian Grand Prix engine failure.
George Russell was almost winning the Canadian Grand Prix when Mercedes engine failure hit, and gave Kimi Antonelli an easy way to extend his win and points over Russell’s 43 points.
George Russell has not defeated Kimi Antonelli in any races since the season-opening Australian GP. But now, he is just two grand prix points away from doing so in the standings.
Mercedes Chief Toto Wolff Backed George Russell
Even after the recent Canadian Grand Prix heartbreak, Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has backed Russell’s performance.
He said, “Well, things have been going against him in the last few races, and [Canada] would have been big points to collect. He was in the lead, but if there is one guy I would choose in this paddock in terms of resilience and determination, that would be George. He has had to overcome adversity previously, whether it is from karting on to junior formulas, and he is not going to give up in the fight.
