George Russell believes that Ferrari will be a strong contender in the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, following their recent performances in Montreal and Barcelona. Russell, who finished third in Montreal and fourth in Catalunya, expects Mercedes to also be strong, but predicts a resurgence from the Ferrari team. He acknowledges that McLaren and Red Bull are currently ahead, but emphasizes that the competition can change quickly, as demonstrated in Montreal. Russell also praises the work done by the Mercedes team to improve their performance, noting that they have introduced updates throughout the season rather than a major upgrade in a specific race. He believes they have made significant progress, but still need some additional improvements to consistently compete at the highest level.
