“For every one day of marketing, that’s one day less in the gym, or training or resting and recovering to be in a better place for the next race. That’s definitely taken its toll on me.' F1
Leaping up the F1 grid from Williams to Mercedes this past year, George Russell has revealed one of the biggest struggles was balancing the numerous PR events versus training, or resting.
As Russell points outs, every day of smiling for the cameras and fans means one less day of either training or recovering, and that’s something he’s going to have to learn how to balance better next season. “When I look at the amount of days I’ve been away, this year, external to all the racing, all the simulator, all the days at the factory is it’s in the 60s, the number of days. That’s two months’ worth. And that’s away from the track. And these are flights, hotel nights, on my own.Smiling made more difficult during Mercedes’ struggles
“But then to come back and have a bit of a reset and have the best weekend of the year by far , that was another reason why it was so hugely satisfying.” “For sure, there’s probably a better balance to be struck, but at the end of the day, we can’t go racing without our sponsors, and they’re a big reason as to why the team has so much success.
