With the third triple header of the season just around the corner, George Russell is also looking forward to the Belgian Grand Prix. It will be the second Formula 1 race at Spa-Francorchamps for the Williams driver and of course he hopes for a better result than in his debut.

Russell: “I am looking forward going back racing for the next triple header. On paper, Spa may be a slightly harder circuit for us, due to the high efficiency of the track with the long straights and fast corners. However, we should have a few different components to try and see if that helps us. Nevertheless, it's going to be great going back to Spa.” In addition, the weather will always be an important factor in Spa. “It looks like it is going to be varied weather conditions which should mix things up and we will be pushing as hard as always to make the most of what the weekend gives us.”

Last year Russell finished 15th in the race after starting 19th in qualifying in front of his teammate Robert Kubica.
