George Russell ended up in P7 in the inaugural Formula One contest of 2023 and he believes that Red Bull have already won the season's championship and could likely take the win in each race of 2023. At the Bahrain Grand Prix, the Red Bulls appeared unbeatable, with Aston Martin, Mercedes, and Ferrari battling it out to be the second best. Russell was far behind the winner Verstappen, and after the race, he and his boss Toto Woff were disheartened, understanding that there was a lot of work to be done to get the W14 up to the level of the RB19. Sir Lewis Hamilton was more optimistic, but Russell maintained his pessimism, predicting that Red Bull had the championship in the bag and that they could win every single race this year. He mentioned that the Mercedes W14 is not even close to the speed of the Red Bull RB19, so Ferrari may take a pole position here and there, but when it comes to race pace, Red Bull have a formidable lead.
