Slightly more interesting bit in the article:

Intriguingly, when asked about the importance of trust established with racing fellow F1 drivers, Russell suggested there were “maybe three drivers on the grid who you wouldn’t feel comfortable going against”. “There’s a trust between most of the drivers,” he added. “I don’t think [those three unnamed racers] have the spatial awareness of others.

Little bit of a misleading title, the article is more interesting.

Russell can be pretty changeable, but in this case I can see his point. Max can fire that rocketship on lap 1, and then its race over, no reason to do anything else but bring it home.
