George Russell believes whichever team masters their car development quickest will finish the season at the top of the Formula One pyramid. The 2022 season gets underway in less than a month following the first of two three-day testing sessions.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya hosted pre-season testing this week as Russell and Lewis Hamilton topped the timesheets at the start of Toto Wolff's quest for vengeance over Red Bull and Max Verstappen.

Whilst Hamilton doesn't know where the teams stand after the first half of testing, Russell thinks Mercedes are currently behind Ferrari and McLaren in their stage of development.

But ahead of the second three-day testing period in Bahrain next month, Russell expects mass upgrades to the W13 over the next fortnight.
