“I think it's been not a bad start to the season personally, there is room to improve in certain areas. I think I am in a privileged position being teammates with Lewis and learning so much from him – how he works, how he goes about his business with his engineers, how he gets sort of the whole team motivated is quite inspiring to see.”Russell said.

“On the technical side, he's pretty impressive, which a lot of people probably won't recognise or appreciate. Definitely, room to improve but I think in terms of results it's been fine.
"I don't think we could have probably achieved much higher results when I look at the season rationally. Other than Bahrain, we've probably finished as high as we could in every single race.” Russell said.
