It is clear that George Russell is on Red Bull’s radar. Because first it was Christian Horner and now Helmut Marko the one who spoke about the young Mercedes driver. Are you thinking of him for the future? The advisor and boss of the brand did not want to give many clues.
In ‘Motorsport Total’, Marko spoke about George: “George Russell He’s as fast as Hamiltonotherwise he is already faster than him, but he is a Mercedes driver.
“I think for now we will focus on our young driversLet’s see what they can do. Look at Colapinto, an inexperienced driver who performs poorly in the lower categories. I also have to say that he didn’t race with the best teams, but in Formula 1 he did an incredible job,” he says.
He prefers to focus on young people. He did it with Liam Lawson ahead of Daniel Ricciardo. And he doesn’t think about the return of Sebastian Vettel to Formula 1.
“He’s been out of the sport for too long and there are a lot of really fast young guys out there now. I haven’t had contact with him for a while. It’s in a cell phone-free zone, where planes don’t go, somewhere in Northern Europe. “I haven’t heard much from him in the last three months,” concludes the Red Bull advisor.
