Russell 'Cracks Code' After Baku F1 Win

George Russell's commanding victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix has led pundit James Hinchcliffe to suggest the Mercedes driver may have 'cracked the code' to maximize his car's performance.

Former IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe believes Russell's pole position and race win in Baku indicate the Briton has found a way to extract more performance from his Mercedes machinery than teammate Kimi Antonelli. Russell dominated proceedings throughout the weekend at the Baku City Circuit.

The Mercedes team now faces questions about the performance gap between their drivers following Russell's commanding performance, while Antonelli seeks to respond in future races. tbzikra.com
