Russell is still eager to compete for the championship: I will be ready until that day comes

Hupu August 11th According to RN365, George Russell still firmly believes that he will definitely become the F1 world champion one day, but he also talked in detail about the "frustration" experienced by drivers while waiting for the moment of glory.

The Mercedes driver's performance this season is volatile because Mercedes' W16 car has proven to be another difficult car to handle, but Russell has achieved outstanding results in many competitions. In the 14 Grand Prix games that have been completed, he ranked fourth in the driver's standings with 6 podiums. Unfortunately, due to McLaren's strong performance, Russell has basically missed the world championship in 2025.

's inability to compete for the championship and regular wins frustrated Russell, who even compared the life of the F1 driver to a Premier League football club.

Speaking on the Untapped podcast about the need to be patient as an F1 driver, Russell explained: "Yes, I mean F1 is a frustrating sport because you are the 20 best drivers in the world, but in a season, there may be only four different drivers who have really won the race and at most two drivers are competing for the world championship."

" So the other 15 or 16 drivers won't even taste the victory. If you compare football, like the bottom-ranked team in the Premier League, even if you are the worst team in the league, a season You will still win one or two, three or four races. "

" So they have more success than the fifth to twenty drivers in the world, so you can understand it."

Russell later added: "But in F1, there are so few people who can experience this feeling. But I still absolutely believe that my time will come. I don't know when my time will come, but I am preparing for it every day."

" Whether next year, two years later, five years later, or ten years later, I'm making sure I'm ready for it."
