Russell oozing confidence before Qatar GP: 'Wanted to save my best engine'

Las Vegas Grand Prix winner George Russell is feeling very confident heading into the Qatar Grand Prix. It’s a race where he expects Mercedes to be fighting for another victory after they secured their 60th F1 one-two on the streets of Las Vegas last time out. Russell, who has won two races this season, was feeling so positive for the race in Qatar that he wanted to switch engines to maximise the performance of his W15 in the Middle East.
