梅赛德斯一级方程式车手乔治·拉塞尔已经回应了前红牛车队首席执行官兼车队总监克里斯蒂安·霍纳的指控，称他、兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里曾作为青训车手付费使用红牛的模拟器
霍纳，去年被红牛车队解雇，本周在《高性能播客》中说，这三名车手在年轻的时候都支付了使用车队模拟器的费用。据霍纳所说，管理模拟器的人告诉他，这三名年轻车手比红牛已有的车手更好，但赫尔穆特·马克罗对签下他们不感兴趣。
“我记得乔治·拉塞尔在支付我们使用模拟器，兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里也是如此。他们的父亲在给他们开支票，让他们在我们的驾驶员模拟器上运行，”霍纳说。
“负责这个的人走过来对我说，‘克里斯蒂安，这些孩子比我们目前有的青训车队车手更好。’我记得把他们带到赫尔穆特面前，说，‘看，我真的认为你应该看看这些家伙。’”
目前位列车手锦标赛第二位的拉塞尔在美国大奖赛前的媒体采访中被问到了霍纳的评论。
“所以回到2013年，模拟器对任何人来说都不是什么常见的东西，”这位英国车手解释道。“当时的青训车队没有模拟器，有机会在Formula Renault赛车上的模拟器里进行一些驾驶练习，所以这更多的是为了测试和为我们在参加的系列赛中驾驶做准备，因为正如我所说的，没有车队拥有它。这就是全部了。我就说这么多。”
美国大奖赛定于10月23日至25日在美国赛车场举行，并开启了赛季倒数第二个三连赛。

George Russell responds to Christian Horner's Red Bull simulator claim
George Russell has responded to Christian Horner's claims that he, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri paid to use Red Bull's simulator as junior drivers
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell has responded to former Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal Christian Horner's claims that he, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri used to pay to use the Milton Keynes outfit's simulators.
Horner, who was dismissed from Red Bull last year, said on the High Performance podcast this week that all three drivers had paid to use the team's simulator when they were younger. According to Horner, the person running the simulator told him the three young drivers were better than those Red Bull already had, but Helmut Marko was not interested in signing them.
"I remember George Russell was paying us to go on our simulator, as was Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Their dads were writing cheques for them to run on the driver simulator that we had," Horner said.
"And the guy that was looking after it was coming up to me and saying, 'Christian, these kids are better than the juniors we've got at the moment.' I remember taking them to Helmut and going, 'Look, I really think you should look at these guys.'"
Russell, who currently sits second in the drivers' championship, was asked about Horner's comments while speaking to the media ahead of the United States Grand Prix.
"So back in 2013, simulators weren't really a thing for anybody," the British driver explained. "Any junior teams didn't have simulators and there was an opportunity to do some driving on that simulator in the Formula Renault car, so it was more as preparation for testing and driving for the series that we were racing because, as I said, no teams had it. So that's the extent of it. That's all I'll say."
The United States Grand Prix is scheduled for 23-25 October at the Circuit of the Americas and kicks off the penultimate triple-header of the season.
