George Russell may be in for a reality check over the balance of power at Mercedes with team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
So far, the Brits have got along very well as they work together to help their struggling team. Both would have expected to be fighting for the title last year and this, but the Silver Arrows have, so far, been unable to provide their newest driver pairing with a competitive car.
In the attempt to simply maximise their points, Russell managed to out-score Hamilton in their first season together by 35 points. The gap between them narrowed last time out in Miami and now stands at 16 points, with the more experienced Brit holding the advantage.
