I want to stay connected with the fans mobile
But I don’t use the app and I have started to do the same with Instagram mobile
“I respect that everyone has an opinion mobile
But I don’t need to read the praise because that doesn’t bring me anything, and I don’t need to see the negative comments because that doesn’t bring me anything either mobile
“But when I stopped using Twitter (‘X’), whenever I was on my phone I was on Instagram, and when I stopped using Instagram, I thought I needed to look at something so I started to read the news mobile
But every headline was negative mobile
“Other than being informed about what is going on in the world, reading negative headlines one after another didn’t bring anything to me, so now I am totally off social media mobile
”Russell heads into the final five rounds of the campaign eighth in the standings, 62 points and five places adrift of Hamilton mobile
“It all stemmed after the the summer break when I didn’t use my phone at all,” added Russell, who will line up from fifth on the grid for his 100th race in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin mobile
“During that period when I had my family and friends around me I had an average screen time of 15 minutes mobile
In a normal week I have an average screen time of three hours mobile
“I saw a post that said ‘if you use your phone on average for four hours a day, by the time you die you will have spent 15 years looking at your phone’ mobile
“And when I read that, I was like, ‘Jesus I could spend 15 years of my life on my phone mobile
’ I can do something wiser than scrolling through Instagram memes mobile
