Chinese Grand Prix: McLaren advantage bigger than Red Bull ever had, says George Russell
Mercedes driver George Russell said McLaren’s advantage over the field is “larger than Red Bull has” and that their cars “can win every game.”
Norris postponed Red Bull’s biggest Verstappen to Win the Australian Grand Prix in the opening match He and teammate Oscar Piastri scored 2 points in the qualifying match last weekend, more than 0.3 seconds from the court.
Red Bull’s Verstappen won the past four drivers, especially the 2022 and 2023 seasons. In 2023, Red Bull won 21 of 22 games.
Russell talked about McLaren before this weekend’s China Grand Prix: “Their cars should win every race, but I don’t think they won every race this year. Let’s see.
“They’re a bigger gap to everyone this year than Red Bull. But when Max was in that car (2023) he was very reliable every lap, and every lap he had in the third quarter, every run throughout the qualifying round, never a problem.”
