Montoya: Russell needs to think more about himself
Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes that George Russell needs to stop thinking about how to overtake his young teammate Kimi Antonelli and focus on himself, adapting his driving style to the new car…
Juan Pablo Montoya: “George needs to adapt. I can only assume that he is so focused on Antonelli, so eager to overtake him, that he forgets about what’s important.
Russell needs to think more about himself, analyze more, figure out why he is struggling so much this year. He needs to understand how to set up the car to succeed.”
