When I used to do go-karting, at the time, there was no real data analysis. It was literally my father with a stopwatch. And I learned after about five years that he would always time me late, so my lap times looked slower than reality. He would tell me the lap times of the other drivers on practice days, and I always thought I was slow."Then I got to the races and I was qualifying on pole and winning races, and I was so confused as a kid. I’d think, 'I’m always slow on these practice days, but then I get to the races and I win. Why is that?' I realised over time that he would always do that just so I didn’t get too full of myself or overly confident, and that was such an amazing, important lesson for me."As a result of his father's tough outlook and quirk, George Russell had arguably the best junior career of any driver, given his success and path to F1.
