Bernie Ecclestone has identified a crucial weakness in George Russell.
Russell’s victory at last season’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix is Mercedes’ sole win since 2021, a brief ray of light in a dreadful period.
Both Mercedes drivers penned fresh contracts to remain at the team until the end of 2025 and the “needle” between them was commented upon by Sky Sports TV pundits after last weekend’s F1 Japanese Grand Prix, when their differing strategies became a talking point.“If I were a team owner, I think I’d get hold of the Australian kid,” he said about Oscar Piastri, McLaren’s rookie driver.“He’s very good. But Max Verstappen is the best I have ever seen.
Piastri and Norris have profited from a major leap in performance from McLaren across the past few races, and the Aussie claimed his first F1 podium last weekend in Japan.
