Mercedes driver George Russell may be losing out to team mate Kimi Antonelli in the current championship standings – but former champion Mika Hakkinen has a cunning plan for how the Briton can turn the tide…
George Russell currently sits 68 points adrift of Kimi Antonelli heading into the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, following a tough run of races for the Briton. But former two-time champion Mika Hakkinen has revealed what he believes is the secret for Russell to beat his Italian team mate.
A mixture of ill fortune and some low-key performances from Russell since his dominant win at the Australian season opener has contrasted with Antonelli winning every Grand Prix since China – that’s five on the bounce – with Russell even falling behind Lewis Hamilton to third in the Drivers’ standings after the most recent outing in Monaco.

Kimi Antonelli kept his calm through the late safety car, red flag and grid restart in Monaco to notch his fifth-straight victory, strengthening his grip on the world championship.
Antonelli is now 66 points clear at the top of the driver standings, and 68 ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell. The Englishman endured a miserable day that ended with zero points, chiefly thanks to a team error.

Kimi Antonelli, who had driven a perfect weekend to deliver a fifth consecutive win in utterly dominant style, talked about it being "an incredible moment to live".
