George Russell after rejuvenating Baku win: "It would have been very easy for me to lose the faith"

Saturday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix was George Russell's third victory of the 2026 Formula 1 campaign, and his first career grand slam, but leading every lap in the wind-swept streets of Baku meant much more to the Mercedes driver than just a fancy statistic.

Ocon has infamously been plagued by inconsistency in the way car parts perform – an issue that has been acknowledged by the American team – in 10 out of 15 rounds so far, according to him. This hasn’t ...Keep reading
