George Russell started second in Mexico City but fell back to fourth on lap one, behind Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Pérez. The Mercedes driver said he acted extremely cautiously in the fight against his partner, which prevented him from maintaining his position on the track.
George Russell: “I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t make it to the podium. I started well, but Lewis was in the corner and I was acting too subtle in the fight with a partner. Probably such caution cost me the loss of two positions because if I had kept second the result of the race could have been different.
In any case, I am happy with the progress of the team, especially compared to Ferrari – against their background we have made impressive progress in a week. As for Red Bull, they continue to play in their own league – my respect. If we had chosen a similar strategy, we might have ended up closer. In any case, another positive result.”
