  • Toto Wolff telah mengamati sepak terjang George Russell sejak lama.
  • Menurutnya, George Russell memiliki prospek apik sebagai pembalap masa depan Mercedes.
  • Setelah umumkan skuad 2022, Mercedes kembali fokus ke sisa musim ini.

SKOR.id - Toto Wolff, prinsipal tim Mercedes-AMG Petronas, menjelaskan bahwa keputusan memilih George Russell telah melalui proses yang panjang.

"Ini bukan proses yang mudah atau keputusan dadakan untuk kami," begitu kata Toto Wolff soal bongkar pasang timnya di F1 2022 kepada Formula1.com.

Selasa (7/9/2021), Mercedes resmi mengumumkan bahwa George Russell akan menjadi tandem Lewis Hamilton untuk musim ini.

Pengumuman ini berselang sehari dari kepastian Valtteri Bottas pindah ke Alfa Romeo, menggantikan Kimi Raikkonen yang pensiun akhir musim 2021.

Disinggung mengenai alasan memilih Russell, yang terbilang masih hijau daripada Hamilton, Wolff mengaku melihat masa depan dari pembalap Inggris tersebut.

Wolff telah mengawasi perkembangan pembalap yang kini membela Wiilliams Racing tersebut sejak sebelum debut ke ajang Formula 1.

 

"Untuk tahun 2022, kami sangat senang bisa mengonfirmasi bahwa George akan mengambil peluang untuk meningkatkan kariernya dengan bergabung bersama Mercedes," tuturnya.

"Dia telah menjadi pemenang di berbagai kategori balapan. Selama tiga tahun terakhir bersama Williams, dia telah memberi kami gambaran masa depan apa yang akan dia raih di ajang F1."

Untuk itulah, Wolff dan Mercedes akan menjadikan Russell sebagai salah satu aset masa depan mereka untuk beberapa tahun ke depan.

"Sekarang, ini menjadi tantangan kami bersama untuk membantunya lerus belajar dengan lingkungan kami bersama Lewis, pembalap F1 terbaik sepanjang masa," kata Wolff menambahkan.

"Saya yakin bahwa hubungan mereka akan terus tumbuh. Mereka akan menjadi tim yang kuat bersama Mercedes baik di dalam maupun luar lintasan selama beberapa tahun ke depan."

Namun, sebelum jauh melangkah, Wolff dan Mercedes ingin fokus untuk menyelesaikan F1 2021 yang masih menyisakan sembilan seri lagi.

Persaingan ketat dengan Max Verstappen dari Red Bull Racing akan menjadi fokus utama Hamilton dan Valtteri Bottas tahun ini.

"Sudah menjadi tugas kami untuk memastikan rencana tahun 2022 jelas dan diumumkan (ke publik)," ujarnya.

"Namun, untuk saat ini, fokus kami adalah sembilan seri terakhir musim ini dan mencurahkan segala fokus pada kejuaraan ini (F1 2021)."
