Russell urged to find 'flow state' in F1 title race

Former Mercedes race engineer Rob Smedley has urged George Russell to rediscover his 'flow state' amid growing pressure in his 2026 title challenge.

Former F1 race engineer Rob Smedley believes Russell is 'overthinking' his title pursuit, which has resulted in a points deficit to team-mate Kimi Antonelli. Smedley made these comments during the High Performance Racing podcast alongside former Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer and broadcaster Jake Humphrey.

The advice comes as Russell faces increasing pressure in the championship race, with Smedley suggesting a return to a more instinctive driving approach could help close the gap to his Mercedes colleague. chickenroadslot.lat
