George Russell says he won’t follow Lando Norris by changing his approach to Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen following a feud last season as Verstappen says he has “no intention to continue any kind of beef.

George Russell insisted he had “no concerns” about world champion Max Verstappen heading into the new Formula One campaign despite their furious row during last season’s final race in Abu Dhabi.

George Russell has not spoken to Formula One champion Max Verstappen since their end-of-season bust-up in Abu Dhabi last December and the Mercedes driver said on Tuesday he was not about to change his approach either.
