Russell urged to find flow state in F1 title chase

Former Mercedes race engineer Rob Smedley believes George Russell is overthinking his 2026 F1 title challenge, urging him to rediscover his 'flow state' as the points gap to teammate Kimi Antonelli grows.

During the High Performance Racing podcast, Smedley suggested Russell's analytical approach is hindering his performance. The Mercedes driver currently faces a significant points deficit to his new teammate, Kimi Antonelli. amunra-opinie.pl

Smedley, who previously worked with Felipe Massa at Ferrari and Fernando Alonso at McLaren, emphasized that Russell needs to return to the instinctive driving style that brought him success earlier in his career.
