George Russell reckons Red Bull will win every race of the 2023 Formula 1 season in the wake of Max Verstappen's dominant victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
And Russell believes his Mercedes team might even have to write off a lot of this year if it is to be competitive in 2024. Team principal Toto Wolff has been talking in Bahrain about scrapping the current car and working on a redesign after it became clear Mercedes cannot compete for regular wins.
And, after finishing a distant seventh to Max Verstappen in the first of 23 races this season, Russell seemed to agree. He said: "Red Bull have got this championship sewn up. I don't think anybody is going to be fighting with them this year.
