George Russell keeps the line through the bend

SportLocation Formula 1 Desk · 15 Sept 2026

George Russell’s car is all about the corner here: tidy entry, firm apex, and a clean run out of the turn.

George Russell’s car is shown doing the hard part of a lap properly: turning in early enough to stay tight to the inside, then letting the chassis breathe as the bend opens up.

The key detail is the exit. Once the car is settled over the apex, it can be fed back onto the throttle without a big correction, which is what turns a neat corner into a quick one.

That is why the middle of the sequence matters most. The car is not just passing the camera; it is carrying speed through the arc and keeping the line smooth all the way to the next section of track.

For Russell, that sort of cornering is the whole point: less drama at the wheel, more speed on the way out.
