Norris: Russell has had to get more serious at Mercedes F1

So far in 2022 Russell has logged three third places with Mercedes, with his only non-finish coming in his home race.

He has scored 128 points, 19 more than teammate Lewis Hamilton.

Norris says that Russell has had to take a more serious approach at Mercedes compared to his three years at Williams, when he was very much seen as the underdog and the environment was less pressured.

“I think it was impressive before, but the job he’s done against Lewis and so on, and just going to a bigger team, [where] there’s always more pressure, more nerves, I think he’s lived up to that part very well,” said the McLaren driver.
