charged to victory at the Belgian Grand Prix, clinching his second win of the 2024 Formula 1 season following his triumph at the Austrian Grand Prix. In a thrilling race that saw him defend against none other than his seven-time World Champion teammateOpting for a bold one-stop strategy, Russell spent an extended period on his hard tyres, a decision he vocally supported over team radio, confident in the performance the tires would uphold throughout the race.
"I kept saying we could do the one-stop. The strategy team did a great job. Well done to Lewis because he controlled the race; if circumstances were different, I'm sure he'd have won. One-two is an awesome result for the team. It was a team effort. All the strategy guys did a great job. We rolled the dice but it was only possible because the car was feeling great," he explained.
The win at Spa-Francorchamps injects a fresh surge of momentum into Russell’s season and bolsters team morale just as the Formula 1 calendar breaks for its traditional summer hiatus. Despite the impending break, Russell’s enthusiasm remains undiminished. "Three wins in six. I want another race next weekend to be honest. This is feeling so good. The team have worked so hard. Well deserved for everyone at the factories," he shared.
With a series of wins buoying their season, Mercedes, Russell, and Hamilton, now look forward to maintaining this high-performance standard in the races to come, leveraging every ounce of momentum this victory has afforded them.Alex is the editor-in-chief of F1 editorial.
