George Russell has expressed that he no longer perceives himself as a contender for the championship, attributing his recent strong performance to reduced pressure as the season resumes. He secured victory in the sprint race at Zandvoort and will start the main race in second place behind Lando Norris of McLaren.
Watch for Russell's evolving strategy as he embraces a relaxed mindset, potentially leading to more podium finishes. With the championship still wide open, his performance against Antonelli and the competition from Ferrari and McLaren will be crucial in the upcoming races.
