Russell seeks to rebuild title bid with home win
Fresh from a confidence-boosting victory in Austria, George Russell will seek to re-establish his title credentials this weekend by beating Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli and winning again in the British Grand Prix.
The 28-year-old Briton, who is 40 points behind the 19-year-old Italian in the drivers’ title race after eight rounds of the 22-race championship, has recovered the form that made him the pre-season title favorite.
His second win of the season at the Red Bull Ring last weekend came after claiming two consecutive pole positions.
It showed he has shaken off a difficult run of form and fortune earlier this year as Antonelli reeled off five consecutive victories to take command of the title race.
