Undoubtedly, the Brackley-based squad have made title-dominating cars over the years in Formula One. Now, Russell, the newest addition to their team, was mightily impressed after taking out the W10 out for some tests at the Yas Marina.
He said, “It’s a good car, it’s definitely a very good car. Even though it’s modified it gives you confidence and it’s a real joy to drive, you can put it on the limit, you’ve got confidence in it and it’s something I’ve struggled with a little bit in the past season. That’s why it won the championship back in 2019 and as I say, a great experience.”
