George Russell disappointed with 2023 season, expected more podiums

Mercedes driver George Russell finished eighth in the drivers' standings in the 2023 F1 season, accumulating 175 points. The Silver Arrows finished second in the constructors' standings, edging Ferrari by three points in a neck-to-neck campaign. However, Russell was still quite disappointed with his performance.

The British driver finished the season with four DNFs and two podiums, significantly less than the previous year (eight). Talking about his disappointment with his performances, Russell said (via Sports Illustrated):

George Russell is already vying for the top spot in 2024, but also realises that only one team can get it right. He also acknowledged the likes of Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris and other talented drivers, who are also currently in the same position as he is. He added:

The 2024 Formula 1 season is shaping up to be an exciting one and Russell will be hoping for more promising results.
