Fans Encourage George Russell to Perform His “Core” Duties as He Prepares for Round 2 Against Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen gave a stern warning to George Russell after the heated moment in Sprint at Baku. Looks like George Russell has got a chance to put Max Verstappen in his place after the ‘d*ickhead’ jab of the Dutchman. And the fans ask the Mercedes driver to perform his “core” duties as he gets the opportunity to go toe to toe with the Dutchman once again and has the upper hand this time. Let’s see how the fans are encouraging Russell.

After what looked like a strong weekend for Max Verstappen, the Dutchman has been handed a handicap for the race at the Miami GP weekend. Verstappen was considerably quick in Q1 and Q2 and looked like he would be the one clinching the pole. However, a scary moment on his banker lap in Q3 meant it was all about the final lap. Unfortunately, Charles Leclerc crashed out in the final moments of Q3, bringing out the Red Flag and ending the session early for everyone.

As a result, Max Verstappen was unable to put in a lap in Q3 and will be starting from P9 at the Miami GP Main Race. This put him behind the likes of Charles Leclerc, Sergio Perez, and most importantly, George Russell, who qualified P6. However, the last time these two were fighting did not end well for the Dutchman as Russell left a huge hole in his sidepod.

This dynamic is going to be interesting as Verstappen asked Russell to expect the same harshness next time around when it comes to battling with him. The F1 community was quick to take notice of this and posted a Tweet talking about how the World Championship leader would have to overtake his Baku nemesis on track.

The fans went crazy and had only 1 thing on their mind after last week’s excursion. The battle between the two continued into this weekend when Russell explained how Verstappen let himself down and that he does not want an apology. Let’s see how they react to the Tweet.

Others suggested that we are in the best seat to get a rewind of the Baku sprint race, as the Dutchman and Mercedes driver will fight it out on track. Let’s see how the fans reacted.

Many asked Russell to perform his core duties and take revenge for the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. Others asked the Briton to help Perez win the WDC by taking Verstappen out.

Many suggested that it could be very funny if Russell has the sense of humor to play around with Verstappen and trouble him by not giving space for an overtake. Let’s see if we can get any drama in tomorrow by the two.
