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.

via RacingNews365Will Max Verstappen beat Michael Schumacher's grand prix victory tally?Max Verstappen has achieved 72 grand prix victories, bringing him closer to Michael Schumacher's record of 91 wins. At just 28 years old, Verstappen's win count significantly surpasses Schumacher's at the same age, largely due to the increased number of races in modern Formula 1 seasons and Verstappen's earlier debut.
However, when comparing their win percentages across similar race starts, Schumacher's record remains superior. Verstappen's contract with Red Bull extends until 2030, providing him with the opportunity to chase Schumacher's tally, contingent on Red Bull's ability to deliver competitive cars in the coming seasons.
