George Russell says his new F1 contract with Mercedes was a formality, with his goal set on winning his first world championship with the team.
“You need to beat everybody,” he added. “I showed what I was capable of last year. Winning the race for the team and pole positions.“This year has been a challenging year for me but it’s not been through a lack of pace. It’s just things haven’t been clicking in the right way in certain places. The car hasn’t been where we want it to be but I think last weekend in Zandvoort was a good reset.
“The pace was there. I think we were right behind Max at Zandvoort to be on the podium but obviously it was a challenging weekend. Last half of the season is going to be exciting. We’ve got a couple of goals - try and win a race this season, try and get P2 in the championship for the team but the big one is next year.”
