Mercedes' British driver George Russell, who is competing for the championship with his 19-year-old teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli, said that he is not worried about falling behind the Italian driver and is confident in his own strength.
According to Idman.Biz, Russell noted that he knows he can beat everyone.
"To be honest: I only consider myself my biggest rival. I have done so for the last seven years of my Formula 1 career. I know that if I achieve all my goals, I can beat everyone. It was the same last year when I was teammates with Kimi, and a year before that when I was teammates with Lewis [Hamilton]. I'm not looking for an advantage over others. I try to maximize my potential by working with engineers, setting up the car and choosing the right tires. I know that if I achieve all these goals, I can win. That is my goal," said George Russell.
