Max Verstappen has currently secured four world titles. This season, Red Bull is trailing behind McLaren and the team has also battled with Mercedes several times. George Russell has stated he is ready for the title fight.
Russell started his career with the Williams team and was transferred to the Mercedes team in 2022. In conversation with Motorsport.com, Russell let it be known that he is ready to fight for the title.
"Yeah, for sure. I'm definitely more hungry than ever just to try and perform. I would have hoped by now, seven seasons in, I would have at least had a year of fighting for a championship.
"When I joined Mercedes, we thought every year would be a championship fight. Unfortunately, it hasn't turned out that way."

'Not all podiums were on merit'
The Brit has been on the podium six times this year, but was also realistic and saw that this could have been different.
"I had four podiums in the first six, but probably only two of them were truly deserved, I would say.
"Obviously, Melbourne was Piastri going off. In Miami, we had the VSC playing into our hands.
"Then the China P3 was a fair result and Bahrain was a great result. That was the best race of the year, probably, except Canada."
