Reflecting on his race, George Russell pointed to the recurring theme of tire problems, saying, “Story of the weekend, tires. It was really frustrating, I felt really great after the red flag. I was right behind Carlos, couldn’t quite make the overtake, and we had to back off because my brakes were overheating, and we were concerned we wouldn’t make it to the end. As soon as we backed off, I lost all the temperature in my tires, and it was like a survival to the finish line. I was lucky to finish in P6.”
Despite the challenges, George Russell maintains his eighth position in the Drivers’ Championship with 151 points, trailing Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by 15 points.
