Toto Wolff has appraised George Russell's performance after his first 13 races as a permanent Mercedes driver.
The Brit was given the chance to join the Silver Arrows after three years with Williams. Despite driving a car incapable of competing regularly for points, he regularly put in some impressive performances – a highlight being his qualifying lap in Belgium last year which saw him classified second after the race was abandoned due to heavy rain.
He also had a chance to race a Mercedes in 2020, and would likely have won in Sakhir while standing in for Lewis Hamilton had he not suffered a puncture after a pit stop blunder. Since taking the job permanently alongside the seven-time world champion, Russell has excelled.
