Herbert: Russell has what it takes to be champion

      Last year, former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert called the results of Mercedes the main disappointment of the season, and now expects surprises from the team... Johnny Herbert: "This year in Mercedes everything will change. Russell will be the first number of the team, in which came the young Kimi Antonelli. George has already proved the ability to win, he has everything to win races and fight for the title. The question is what this year Mercedes will be able to claim. I think in the final season under the current regulations Mercedes will have a chance. I expect a tight and equal fight, in which it is impossible to name a favorite in advance, but Mercedes will surely have the opportunity to win races and move towards the championship. No one knows what will happen this year. That's where the team has to step up and lead. Mercedes are capable of doing that."
