Russell: I don't understand why anything needs to change.

      Mercedes driver George Russell disagrees with those who criticize the new regulations. He believes that everything should be left as it is…

      George Russell: "I really enjoyed our battle with Kimi, I think it was great. I haven't had a fight like that in many years. I haven't seen anything like it since the Hamilton and Rosberg clash in Bahrain in 2014.

      The new cars allow us to fight like this, the new engines enable us to do so. I don't understand why anyone wants to change them, as we saw amazing battles in Melbourne, in China, we fought with Kimi in the sprint and in the race in Canada. This has only been possible thanks to the features of the latest generation power units."
