George Russell gives unexciting outlook for Mercedes chances of a win this season

"It is a special moment today for Lewis as he becomes an honorary citizen of Brasil.

"To be recognised and celebrated by a country that calls Ayrton Senna one of their own is a true measure of Lewis' incredible achievements..."

He told : "We've shown between these two race weekends [in the United States and Mexico], there was quite a fluctuation in performance. I feel like we probably had the fastest car this weekend [in Mexico] and, had we been on the same strategy as Red Bull, we probably could have fought with them. "Probably Brazil will be halfway between the two [levels of performance]. Realistically, it's going to probably be quite difficult to finish ahead of Red Bull at any races this year. But Ferrari, I think we definitely can beat." "...both on the asphalt of Interlagos and as an advocate for diversity in our sport.

"From each member of the team, Lewis, we are incredibly proud of you. ‘Obrigado’ for what we have achieved together so far - and we are excited by what is still to come!”

He said: "Be careful [not] to jump to quick assumptions; they [Ferrari] clearly weren't fast this weekend, but it was also – on our simulations – our best weekend. Let's see what happens in Brazil. Finishing second would be great for all our people, and a win would still be fantastic. Also [it] would demonstrate that the car is fast."

I think he has proven that he's definitely not lifted his foot off the throttle pedal, and he's definitely [in] the last few races performing probably better than ever." He added: "It's really exciting for me to have the opportunity to be his teammate, to go directly head-to-head with him and grow on this journey that we're on together because it really does feel like a journey that the two of us are on, along with the rest of the team, in trying to bring Mercedes back to winning ways.
