Russell: We all know what Hamilton is capable of.

      Ferrari's results this season do not meet the expectations of the team, let alone its fans. After ten stages of the season, the team has only three podium finishes, but in all three cases, in Saudi Arabia, Monaco and Spain, Charles Leclair finished in the top three, and Lewis Hamilton scored only once, winning Saturday's sprint in Shanghai. His best result on Sunday remains 4th place in Imola.

      George Russell has been Hamilton's team-mate at Mercedes for three seasons, knows his professional capabilities well, and he has his own version of what the current difficulties of the seven-time world champion, who is unable to adapt to the Ferrari car, may be related to.

      "I think from the point of view of the seven–time world champion, everything except victory will be a defeat," says the Mercedes driver, who won the Canadian Grand Prix a week ago, where Hamilton finished sixth. – Probably, if you push yourself and the team too much, then you can overdo it in an effort to achieve good results. 

      Of course, this approach would be counterproductive. But I know from previous years that Lewis can be a very difficult opponent when he's at his peak. He's an excellent pilot. That's exactly what happened last year at Silverstone, and this year in China. We all know what he's capable of."
