Best season 20th (2019)

Flying beneath the radar because of the

problems at Williams, George Russell had a

very impressive rookie season in 2019. Not

only did he outqualify thevete ran Robert

Kubica at every race and finish behind him

just twice, he unlocked performanceKubica

couldn’t from the recalcitrant Williams car.

Still, it wasKubica who nabbed theteam’s

only point, in the chaotic German GP.

Russell will be hoping the problems Williams

suffered last year (late start, shortage of

parts, plus on-track inconsistency) can be

eliminated in 2020; on his side, he perhaps

needsto be less cautious at race starts.

GP RACING VERDICT

The biggest challengefor Russell isto carry

on excelling even if the car continuesto be

back-of-the-grid material.

Latifi is the only rookie inthe field this year

and likes to say that it’s taken himjust as

long to ge t to F1 from when he started

karting, as it did MaxVerstappen– although

Latifi startedmuch later. Secondin F2

last year, Latifi drove in six FP1practice

sessionsfor Williams in 2019,having

previouslytested for Renault andForce

India. Latifiwill race under a US licence

after Canada’s national sporting authority

resignedits mandate from the FIA.He

is a solid,dependableand hard-working

racer inside the cockpit, and thoroughly

personable without.

GP RACING VERDICT

The key for Latifi isto stay out of trouble

and tryto match – or at leastget closeto –

team-mate Russell.
