George Russell explains how he plans to approach the start of Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver qualified third on the grid for Sunday’s race at the Red Bull Ring, behind McLaren’s Norris and Red Bull’s Verstappen, who stormed to a dominant pole position.
But the Briton has downplayed talk of a repeat, insisting he is going to “sit back and watch it all take place” instead. “But I think, you know, last week I lost a lot of time battling with Lando and probably focused too much on the guys ahead of me and ultimately that cost me the position to Lewis and almost to Charles as well.Asked about Mercedes’ chances in the race, Russell said he expects Verstappen and McLaren to be out of reach.
