Michael Schumacher Benchmark Aimed by F1 Dynamo to Dominate the Sport Like the 7X Champion Did

A young driver must put in a lot of grueling work if they want to compete in the pinnacle of motorsports. And when a driver enters the Formula 1 scene, they want to join the best team they can to have their dream run. Similar events occurred with Mercedes driver George Russell, who sought to join the Silver Arrows after seeing what they were capable of. However, since the young Briton has joined the Brackley-based side, the team has failed to give him the vehicle he anticipated. Despite losing faith and perseverance, the F1 Dynamo has raised the bar to match Michael Schumacher.

Following a dismal performance last year, Mercedes intended to bring some upgrades to their car. However, their plan utterly failed, and it is unlikely that the German manufacturers will prevail this year. George Russell, who wants to have his hand on Championship one day, has been disappointed since he joined Mercedes.

Following the change of the regulations, Mercedes failed to cope with it and it left Russell forget about the title aspirations. But instead of losing hope, the young Briton wants to conquer the sport like the 7x champ Michael Schumacher. Russell claims that Ferrari champion and F1 icon Michael Schumacher began to dominate the sport in his 30s. The British driver, who also aspires to start dominating the sport, aimed to be influenced by the legendary German driver’s journey.

While taking to Motorsports. com turkey version, Russell said, “Besides, I’m 25 years old. When I look at Fernando, I think I have at least 15 more years. In addition, when you look at one of the best in history like Schumacher, you see that he was approaching his 30s when he started dominating the sport with Ferrari. So my time will come.”[ [Translated via Google]

Sir Lewis Hamilton, who has given us several pleasant moments in the past is observed to be battling with the new Mercedes vehicle. We overheard the seven-time champion driver talking about his lack of comfort in the car after the Saudi race. George Russell, who had a comfortable lead over Hamilton at the Jeddah circuit, may have felt confident about defeating the British driver at the same time.

The fact that Russell beat Hamilton despite Hamilton’s better tires was a topic of conversation. The Mercedes driver admitted after the race that he might have performed better if he had been given a better setup. And citing the comments by his former teammate Rosberg told sky sports, “That was just the ‘I got beat by my team-mate’ face. That’s pretty simple.”  

However, Russell, who certainly was better at the Jeddah circuit, gets a fair warning by the 2016 champion, who in the past has achieved the feat of defeating Hamilton in the same machinery. The German finish driver said, “It’s going to be a big, big challenge, but let’s not forget Lewis is the best of all time so if there’s going to be someone who can beat George then it will be Lewis.” Later he added, ” he comes back with a bang every single time so dear George don’t get too comfortable.”
