Russell Urged to Find Flow State in Title Fight

During a recent episode of the High Performance Racing podcast, Smedley suggested Russell is 'overthinking' his approach to the championship. The comments come as Russell faces a growing points deficit to his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli.

Smedley, who worked with Felipe Massa and later with Russell at Williams, made the remarks alongside former Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer and broadcaster Jake Humphrey. He emphasized that Russell needs to return to the mental state that brought him success in previous seasons rather than getting caught up in tactical complexities. ipltable.lol
