Russell: I am my own biggest competitor.
George Russell arrived in Montreal in second place in the standings, trailing Kimi Antonelli by 20 points, and stated that the championship situation does not concern him for now...
George Russell: "I am looking forward to the continuation of the season. The weekend in Miami was challenging for me, but I learned a lot and feel great this weekend.
I paid a lot of attention to energy distribution and some other factors, missing many key moments, including tire management. All of this affected the results.
This weekend we will show an updated version of the car, and I hope it will allow us to make as big a step forward as our competitors did in Miami.
The obvious weak point is the start, and we are paying special attention to it. In the short term, it is difficult to make significant progress. This element cannot be practiced at the start of the Grand Prix; at some stages, we don’t even have that opportunity during practice, but we will do everything possible to improve.
The gap from Kimi? Right now, I am not thinking about the championship. There is another race weekend ahead, where it is important to achieve the best possible result. I am my own biggest competitor. If I do everything I can, I know I can beat anyone. I am not thinking about the advantage or the gap; I am thinking about how to get the most out of myself, my engineers, the car settings... And if I do that, I can win."
