Does Russell still think Red Bull will win all Grands Prix in 2023?

The difference in qualifying between Verstappen and Russell was less than three tenths. It gives the Mercedes garage hope, but Russell continues to appoint that Red Bull really is a few classes better at the moment.

"Obviously, after a frustrating Qualifying, like the one we had in Bahrain, you say some things in the heat of the moment, I do still think Red Bull are a class ahead of everybody else and for sure Lewis and I got the most out of it today," Russell said. The 25-year-old driver is positive, but he knows like everyone else that the points will not be given away until Sunday.
