To many’s surprise, the Alpha Tauri’s boss favoured Russell over Hamilton. He believes that he is currently in a better place than the Briton-Brazilian.
In an interview, looking back at the season, he said, “Such superiority as shown by Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing this year is rather rare.”
“[In 2023] I expect a three-way battle between Max, Charles Leclerc and George Russell, who is already stronger than Lewis Hamilton,” he said, in conclusion.
On the other hand, Mercedes is gearing up for the season of 2023 in full force.
