George Russell feels he is "now" a better driver than Lewis Hamilton.
The Brit is in his second season with Mercedes. And the man from King's Lynn caught the eye with his consistent results last year as he ended up out-scoring the seven-time world champion over the course of the campaign.
Hamilton has had the upper hand in the intra-team battle so far this term, though. He is 37 points ahead of Russell, a margin which increased on Sunday with a podium at the Canadian Grand Prix.
