George Russell has hinted at a lesson that all wannabe F1 world champions can take from Max Verstappen's top-level career.
The Dutch driver was promoted to the Red Bull senior team as a teenager and quickly developed into a regular podium sitter.
However, Verstappen had to wait until 2021 to claim his first world title, beating out Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in controversial circumstances.
The 25-year-old has since gone from strength to strength, dominating the 2022 world championship and kickstarting his 2023 title defence in convincing fashion too.
