“For me all the additional circuits were really fun – he revealed - It’s very close to chose between Mugello and Imola. What has been his favourite between those added to the calendar in 20 because of the pandemic? It was amazing!”ĬOVID-19 forced F1 to visit a number of tracks that weren't originally scheduled to be on the calendar in the last two years. The first time was Austria and we did it on medium tyres and it was a fantastic job from all the team,- he pointed out - It was so special! The next time it was also very special, because I did it in front of my own crowd. “Definitely the first two occasions were really very special.

MotorLat was curious to know how special those occasions were for him and his team.

In Austria, Russell managed to get Williams in the Q3 after nearly three seasons and followed it up with three more later in the season, including those incredible performances at Spa and Sochi. But all the success is coming this year, the relative success, the podium, the start from the top-3 twice and I – and everybody in the team – are going to remember that weekend in Spa forever. “I am very proud of my team, we’ve endured several difficult moments, especially 2019 and probably more difficulties in 2020 because we were so close and missing an opportunity was even more painful. We began our chat with asking Russell how proud he is of all the progress Williams has made since his arrival in the team, at his rookie season.

MotorLat had an exclusive chat with their official driver George Russell during the Mexican Grand Prix weekend and talked with him about all of these topics and so much more. They finished on the podium, George Russell’s maiden one in F1, and they've made four appearances in Q3 this year, managing to arrive at the Mexican Grand Prix ahead of Alfa Romeo of 16 points in the Constructors’ Championship. Williams is one of those teams that can feel satisfied of the big step forward they have made. The 2021 season is coming to an end and all the conclusions are beginning to be made.
