George Russell said in Bahrain that he expects Red Bull Racing to win every Grand Prix this season. The differences between Mercedes and the Austrian racing stable were not that great in qualifying and so the British driver was asked in Saturday's press conference if he has changed his mind yet.

Red Bull still dominant

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.

"Normally, they’re a second ahead. Now, they’re three-tenths ahead. That’s still a huge amount in the world of F1. So, you know, we're not going to give up, we're going to keep on pushing. And I think, right now we'll have to reassess when we bring some upgrades to the car. And that will be the first time when we truly know if they work as we expect and if we can fight them. But yeah, why not?"
