George Russell says he realised he needed to "look forward" during the Brazilian Grand Prix and forget Lewis Hamilton was chasing him as he secured a first Formula 1 win. Russell led from pole position in Sao Paulo, and his victory chances increased when Hamilton and Max Verstappen collided at Turn 1 after a first Safety Car restart . However, a second, later Safety Car threatened to derail his chances of a win, with Hamilton starting P2 for the final charge to the flag. However, the younger Briton quickly gapped Hamilton at just outside DRS range, holding a pace advantage through the middle sector to just keep Hamilton the wrong side of the one second activation barrier.

Speaking afterwards, Russell revealed his change of approach during the race. Source: https://thefoxposts.com/russell-realised-he-n...
