George Russell won the Las Vegas Grand Prix in exquisite fashion after starting in pole position last Saturday. The 26-year-old has been tireless for the Silver Arrows this year despite being unable to notch consistent good results.
Russell has since revealed his desire to challenge Max Verstappen for the title in 2025. The Dutchman has been one of the most consistent drivers since 2021, winning 52 races.
It’s about time somebody gave him a proper fight.

Russell heads into the last two races hoping to secure more wins and podiums. He has talked of several issues within the W15 throughout the season, urging the team to resolve them. The Silver Arrows will therefore have to make amends and present a better package to the Brit in the coming years.
Huge statistic reveals competitive nature of 2024 F1 season
The 2024 Formula 1 season has been one of the most competitive of the modern era. With three teams still in contention for the constructors’ championship, all is still left to race for in the final two races of the year.
Mercedes secured a spectacular 1-2 finish at the Las Vegas GP last weekend. The Brackley-based team’s feat means that now four different teams have secured a 1-2 finish in the same season. This has happened for the first time since 1960.
The FIA is set to implement a set of new regulations from 2026 onwards, which might witness the dominance of a single team yet again. But until the end of next season, Formula 1 is sure to showcase full-blown competitive battles between the top teams on the racing track.
