George Russell is dissatisfied with the team’s performance in the early laps of the race and demands an explanation.
Many drivers switched to intermediate tires on laps 1 and 2, and Mercedes was delayed in making a decision, although the slicks were seriously inferior in speed – Lewis Hamilton was called into the pits on the third lap and George Russell only on the fourth . As a result, both riders rolled back.
George Russell: “This time the race was over before it had even started. I think we had wrong information about the weather. I’m disappointed. We missed the podium because of this.
Within the team we have to analyze. Understand how we get weather information and why we misinterpreted it. The reason for the failure is not in the race and not in the car, our day was ruined by a misinterpretation of the weather information.
We really need to find out what happened, why the rest of the teams pitted and we didn’t, and try not to make that mistake again.”
