That’s the view of F1 legend David Coulthard, who was commentating for Channel 4 when Russell became the 20th British F1 race winner.

But there were no issues at Interlagos last weekend.
Coulthard (above), a 13-time F1 race winner, said: “It was a great way to welcome another British winner in George.
“He is ahead of Hamilton in the championship, and there are a number of reasons why we can pick that apart – but he almost won on his debut for Mercedes, won the sprint and the full race at the weekend and he did it in absolute style.
