George Russell rarely ever holds back his feelings. The young Briton is not shy of expressing himself and being involved in controversial situations. He has a very outspoken persona, and he speaks his mind clearly without being concerned about the consequences. Fans got a glimpse of this after his crash with Valtteri at Imola. While many love Russell for this trait, the same can also put a target on his back.

George Russell is unhappy with Red Bulls in Australia

Australian GP has returned, exciting every F1 fan. The GP almost qualifies as a festivity for many F1 fans across the globe. As the exciting Albert Park Circuit opens its gates for us after two years, we cannot be more thrilled. While some teams will look forward to solidifying their positions’, others would expect to redeem themselves.

It was recently reported that Russell was frustrated with a certain team. “These f****** Red Bulls” surely describe that he was not happy having the Austrian team around. We understand they blocked the Briton from passing twice in FP1. While there’s no news about who did it. Russell has been struggling due to his car’s lack of pace, while his efforts to bring in points have been commendable.

Mercedes and their current fight in the midfield

Despite heavy and violent ‘porpoising’, the British driver has tried his best. Caring negligibly about his comfort in the car, the man has tried to maneuver the beast in the best way possible. However, the W13 loses too much pace on the straights when compared to arch-rivals Red Bull and Ferrari. This has spoiled Mercedes‘ chances of making it to the top as they only dabble in the midfield for now.

As fans expect the Silver Arrows’ camp to make a comeback sometime soon, this interaction is maybe an indication. Red Bull and Mercedes F1 are arch-rivals, with their drivers, team principals, and even fans butting heads. We can only imagine what would happen if we ever witness a Max Verstappen vs Russell showdown.

Both the two 24-year-olds are strong-headed and share a similar temperament. While Russell has not driven a competitive car until this year, we are sure he wouldn’t mind getting his elbows out.
