George Russell is showing he’s got what it takes to take Formula 1 by storm - now he needs the car.
The Mercedes ace has been catapulted into the seat vacated by Valterri Bottas and, according to David Coulthard, has "a brilliant all-round package". So far, finishes of fourth and fifth in Bahrain and Jeddah respectively have not set the world alight but the Scot believes that Russell is doing enough to justify both the expectation and they hype.
Coulthard said: “I’ve been super-impressed - George has performed in line with my expectations. For me, he’s a brilliant all-round package.
