Mercedes senior race engineer Marcus Dudley has lifted the lid on his relationship with his driver George Russell, explaining the importance of being able to trust one another, finely tuned communication and the ability to ignore toxic online abuse.
Dudley appeared on the Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show alongside Russell, Mercedes deputy team principal Bradley Lord and trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin following the British Grand Prix. Russell finished second at his home grand prix at Silverstone after suffering a slow puncture but later capitalising on the late-race safety car.
