On the final episode of Driving Style Secrets in this series, Mark Hughes and Edd Straw analyse the driving technique that has made George Russell one of F1's best drivers.
They explain what's unique about the Mercedes driver's approach, and how his style - and speed - compares to the likes of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
Next week, Edd and Mark will return with a special Q&A episode, where they'll answer follow-up questions about the six drivers covered in this series. So...

The 1993 Canadian Grand Prix was the race where all bar one teamâs cars were declared illegal, sparking a political battle so big that the stewards that weekend stepped back and allowed everyone to race, while passing the debate over driver aids up the chain to the decision-makers at the FIA.
After breaking with âRevisitedâ tradition and taking a brief detour into off-track politics to explain what was going on there, we then move back into on-track matters, looking at the dynamic...

Paddock talk has long suggested Mercedes might be the package to beat - particularly on the engine front - when Formula 1's massive 2026 rule changes come in, just as it was when the hybrid era began in 2014.
But the problems that are holding it back in 2025 have repercussions for next year too and it can't afford to ignore them and hope a rules revamp will change everything - as Edd Straw explains in our latest video.

The 2025 Aragon Grand Prix was hardly MotoGP's best foot forward, as a relatively lively sprint was followed by a deeply processional Sunday race - and as Ducati showed its Silverstone angst was, for now, just a blip by locking out the podium in both.
It was very, very clear who was the best rider in the class this weekend, but the fight for second-best - at least as far as these rankings are concerned - was a close one.
