Mercedes say George Russell did an "excellent job" in Abu Dhabi Pirelli test

Andrew Shovlin, one of the leading engineers at Mercedes, was pleased with how George Russell performed during day two of the Abu Dhabi Pirelli testing session. The session is vital for teams to learn as much as they can about what they will be working with next season.

“It was nice to be able to work with George again and he did an excellent job by passing the 800 kilometers and driving the fastest lap. The car worked flawlessly in recent days, so we were able to do a lot of work," Shovlin said.

Russell was testing for Mercedes and did a solid job for the team that he hope to one day race for.
