Russell unphased on beating Hamilton: "Fighting for race wins is the goal"

Young Mercedes ace George Russell has had a season to remember in 2022, but the seemingly out of reach goal of winning a race appears to be on the Brit's mind.

Although George Russell has scored seven podium finishes in the 2022 season and is beating seven-time champion teammate Lewis Hamilton, there is a sense of a deeper frustration within the young Mercedes driver of wanting more.

When Sky asked on his feelings towards beating Hamilton, the Brit replied; "If you asked me that at the start of the season, I'd have said it means everything because if you beat Hamilton it probably means you're world champion. I want to finish ahead of him, but I am here to win races, pole positions and championships."

Despite having a strong and consistent season, the past two races have been disasterous for the Brit, which can only drive his hunger further.
