Russell pense que son ‘style de pilotage’ est un atout pour les F1 actuelles

Russell pense que son 'style de (…)

George Russell a été un équipier solide face à Lewis Hamilton chez Mercedes F1 entre 2022 et 2024. Le jeune Britannique se félicite d’avoir été rapide dans les monoplaces à effet de sol depuis trois ans, même s’il était déjà très solide sur les voitures de génération précédente, mais pense que c’est simplement une question d’aisance avec leur manière de se comporter.

“Je pense que mon style de conduite naturel a probablement bien fonctionné dans ces voitures” a déclaré Russell. “Mais mes résultats en qualification contre mes coéquipiers de la génération précédente étaient bons et dans toutes les catégories, et mes résultats en qualifications ont été excellents.”

“Je ne pense pas qu’il y ait quelque chose de particulier avec cette génération mais, évidemment, Lewis a été mon coéquipier le plus difficile, donc je pense que c’est la raison pour laquelle cela a été mis en évidence un peu plus.”

Russell se félicite aussi d’avoir progressé au fil des saisons, et même pendant des saisons grâce à sa compréhension : “On apprend au fil de la saison ce qu’il faut faire pour tirer le meilleur parti des pneus, ce qu’il faut faire pour exploiter les points forts de la voiture et ce qu’il faut faire pour se méfier de ses faiblesses.”

“Je sais exactement où sont les forces et les faiblesses de la voiture et ce à quoi je dois faire attention. Je pense que j’ai plutôt bien réussi à clore ce chapitre, à aller de l’avant et à en tirer des leçons, alors que je pense que mon jeune moi s’attarderait probablement sur quelque chose plus longtemps.”

“Je me souviens qu’en 2022, j’ai eu une série de très mauvaises courses. C’était la première fois de la saison que je n’étais pas dans le rythme par rapport à Lewis. C’était la première fois de ma carrière que je n’étais pas dans le rythme et cela m’a probablement gêné pendant une ou deux courses de plus.”

“Alors que maintenant, même dans une séance EL3, si je suis derrière lui, ou même dans la séance Q2, si je suis derrière lui, je ne stresse pas. Je sais que ce qui s’est passé auparavant n’a pas d’importance. C’est ce tour en Q3 qui fera la différence.”
