2023 Fantasy Outlook
Russell's first season with Mercedes could not have gone much smoother for the former Williams driver. Earning both his first pole position and first race win in Formula One. Russell regularly outperformed teammate Lewis Hamilton in 2022, making the podium a total of eight times and leading 100 laps by the final go in Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 63 finished in the Top 5 fifteen times out of the first 16 races, earning him the nickname "Mr. Consistency" by both the fans and broadcast media alike. Russell picked up championship points 20 times out of his 22 race starts, having only one DNF at his home track, Silverstone. Many of Russell's mistakes on track can be attributed to the understandable difference in handling between Mercedes' W13 and the Williams FW43B, though his occasional recklessness behind the wheel is oddly reminiscent of an early Red Bull-era Max Verstappen. Russell is one to watch as a potential challenger for the World Championship going into 2023, as Mercedes is looking to prove they're still in contention for the title despite Red Bull's recent dominance.

Unlucky pit strategy

November 7, 2024
Russell finished fourth in the Brazilian Grand Prix F1 race at Autódromo José Carlos Pace on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Russell handled the rainy conditions impressively throughout the weekend, narrowly missing out on pole to Lando Norris and well out-pacing teammate Lewis Hamilton. Things also began well for Russell at the start of the race, as he passed Norris on the opening turn and maintained the lead until he pitted on Lap 28. Shortly after, the race was red-flagged, giving each of Max Verstappen, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly free pit stops and track position ahead of Russell. Russell still managed a strong finish, but he likely would have been in line for the win had it not been for the unfortunate timing.
