George Russell Hits Back for Mercedes in Monza Practice The Italian Grand Prix has a reputation for being one of the most unpredictable and thrilling events on the Formula One calendar.
This weekend's practice sessions were no exception, with George Russell's blistering lap in second practice sending shockwaves through the paddock and propelling his Mercedes team back into contention alongside Ferrari.
Russell's remarkable turnaround is all the more impressive given the team's struggles earlier in the season. His 59 point gap to championship leader Kimi Räikkönen now appears within reach.
