The driver considers that his performance measured on Sunday is proof of his progress as a driver.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I am a very different driver today than I was a couple of years ago, and I feel more complete, more confident. I know exactly what I need to do in certain circumstances.<\/p><cite>George Russell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nRussell added that, although he felt nervous before the race, he did not experience additional pressure. It felt like &#8220;another race&#8221; and he was confident in his chances of winning. He has reiterated his feeling of being prepared to fight for the championship and take the next step in his career.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1006%2Fr1556381_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"George Russell earned a surprise victory in Singapore on Sunday.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nSince joining Mercedes in 2022, Russell hasn&#8217;t had a car capable of competing for championships. In his three seasons as Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s teammate, he was only two points behind the seven-time champion and currently leads his rookie teammate Kimi Antonelli by 149 points after 18 races.\n\nThe driver believes he has matured in the last two years and that he would make the most of a car capable of achieving consistent victories throughout a season.\n\nRussell explained that this maturity comes from experience, knowing how to maximize each situation. He acknowledged that a couple of years ago he drove with more tension, but now he feels much more relaxed.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Russell: Ready for the World Championship Battle After a remarkable victory at the Singapore Grand Prix last Sunday, Mercedes driver George Russell has expressed his confidence in being ready to compete for the Formula 1 world title.
