George Russell: In 2026 we'll see more overtakes
George Russell believes that in 2026 we will see overtakes where they didn't happen before…
George Russell: “95% of the team's staff are working on the 2026 car, but the team at the track are, in a way, the last fighters who are focused on this year's car.
Right now all the attention is on the 2026 car; when I'm on the simulator, it's only with that one. I think next year we'll see more overtakes, but in places where they didn't happen before. If a driver has an empty battery and a rival has more charge on that section of the track, the rival can suddenly pull ahead in a corner where an overtake would previously have been impossible.”
