Last season, Russell became only the third team-mate in Hamilton’s 16 years on the Formula 1 grid to beat the seven-time World Champion in the overall standings.
“We were both fighting for P4, P5, P6 and we don’t want to be in this position, so I’m not going to walk away with huge amounts of pride because I finished fourth in the championship,” Russell said.“I’m really excited for 2023. I’m still going to be trying to improve my driving, what I do on and off track, and hopefully we’ve got the car beneath us to fight for the championship.”The Briton has backed Toto Wolff’s conviction that Mercedes haven’t forgotten how to design a race-winning car.
While initially it was thought it was the zero-pod that created Mercedes’ headaches, it was later speculated that it could have been that their floor was stiffer than their rivals while Wolff says they also decided back in October 2021 to run the car too close to the ground.“They haven’t forgotten how to build a fast race car,” he said. “We just got it wrong. We got the philosophy wrong. We went down a route which turned out to be the wrong route.
