He then continued: "Probably, I would say texting wise, I would probably the most with Max." Ricciardo said that another of his former teammates, Lando Norris, is terrible at texting. He said about the defending world champion: "Lando's a terrible text. Yeah, I think he gets bored after a few texts and then just stops replying." About himself, Ricciardo added: "I send so many voice notes. God damn it is it selfish, but I love it." Russell sent worrying warning Former FIA steward Johnny Herbert believes George Russell is under threat from Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen. “I believe that Kimi Antonelli's consistency is definitely causing George Russell problems at the moment," he said. "It seems that every time Russell gets in the car, he gets thoroughly thrashed by Kimi. "I know it hasn't been a perfect season for him. I know luck might not have been on his side, but that’s part of Formula 1. This will be tough on him because everyone, myself included, thought this would be George’s year. But it hasn't turned out that way. "There are constant rumours about Max Verstappen potentially joining Mercedes in the medium term, which certainly don't help Russell's mood. George will be aware that his seat is under threat.” Read more. Verstappen fans get a unique chance to secure a piece of the RB16B Fans of Max Verstappen can purchase a special piece of memorabilia.
