Norris kept buzzing and even replied, “Too many” while Leclerc replied with the spot-on answer of “13”. While the answer perplexed Russell himself, everyone quickly reminded him that he was wrong.

Russell has surprised many with his stellar performances this season. While many could judge his talent based on performances at Williams, what he has done at Mercedes is worth noting.
