F1's summer break couldn't come soon enough for Russell - RACER

George Russell says he is enduring the worst run of his racing career and welcomes Formula 1's summer shutdown after a series of reliability issues with his Mercedes. Despite Mercedes producing the most competitive car this season, Russell has suffered a power unit deployment problem across multiple races and a throttle failure that dropped him to last on the opening lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix. His teammate Kimi Antonelli heads into the break leading the championship by 50 points, highlighting the contrast in their fortunes.
