HINCHCLIFFE: How does a driver approach a race at a track that just doesn’t suit them?
George Russell made no secret of the fact he didn't gel with the Miami circuit. IndyCar winner and F1 TV analyst James Hinchcliffe explains exactly what that means, and how a driver can try to overcome that feeling.


Almost every driver, if you go through past races from junior categories up until they break into the big leagues, will have a track or two that stands out as a place where they always go well.
It could be due to the layout heavily featuring a particular type of corner they like, or maybe an asphalt that has a grip level which suits their style. Perhaps it is a track with a climate that suits a wet weather specialist.
