via f1oversteer.comKarun Chandhok tells George Russell to follow in Nico Rosberg’s footsteps to set up 2027 titleGeorge Russell's hopes of winning the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship have diminished following a disappointing DNF at the Bahrain Grand Prix, which has left him 84 points behind Kimi Antonelli. With only seven races remaining in the 2026 season, Russell's focus should shift towards securing race victories rather than chasing the title, as suggested by Karun Chandhok.
Chandhok drew parallels to Nico Rosberg's 2015 season, where Rosberg, after losing the championship, concentrated on winning races and carried that momentum into the following year. Russell, who was initially seen as a strong contender for the title, must now use the remainder of the season to build a foundation for a potential title challenge in 2027.f1oversteer.comTue 6 Oct · 06:00 UTC
via f1oversteer.comKarun Chandhok knows Liam Lawson joined Red Bull at the wrong time after watching Isack HadjarKarun Chandhok believes Liam Lawson joined Red Bull at an inopportune time compared to Isack Hadjar, who has shown impressive consistency this season. Hadjar's performance included a third-place qualification for the Bahrain Grand Prix, although he finished fifth due to an engine penalty. His streak of nine consecutive top-six results highlights the improvement in Red Bull's second seat, which has struggled since Sergio Perez's decline in 2024.
Chandhok noted that the new regulations have made the Red Bull car more user-friendly, allowing drivers like Hadjar to perform better. Lawson's recent stint with Red Bull saw him score 14 points, and he was closer to teammate Max Verstappen than in his previous season. Chandhok emphasised that timing is crucial in Formula 1, and Hadjar's success is a testament to the changes in the car's handling and performance.f1oversteer.comMon 5 Oct · 18:00 UTCvia RacingNews365Liam Lawson praises Racing Bulls' strategy in BahrainLiam Lawson commended Racing Bulls for their strategic decisions during the Bahrain Grand Prix, which led to his impressive P7 finish.
