Russell reflects on personal growth

The Mercedes driver admitted he has learned more about himself than he would have liked during this year. He noted that the highs and lows of sport are immense because everyone cares deeply for what they do.

Antonelli leads championship standings

Kimi Antonelli is expected to become the youngest world champion in history if he finishes ninth or higher at the Mexican Grand Prix. The Italian driver has secured nine wins compared to Russell's three victories throughout the current season.

Russell compares himself to veterans

The 28-year-old British driver reminded himself of Lewis Hamilton competing well at 41 and Fernando Alonso at 45. He believes he still has plenty of years left to return and win the world championship.
