George Russell remains confident of claiming the 2026 Formula 1 drivers' championship despite trailing Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli by 68 points after the Monaco Grand Prix.
The 28-year-old Briton finished 12th in Monaco after a series of penalties, including a drive-through for failing to serve a five-second pitlane speeding penalty correctly. Team principal Toto Wolff accepted responsibility, saying the error stemmed from a communication breakdown during the safety car period. Russell acknowledged his poor run of results but pointed to the 16 races still remaining.
