An unrepentant George Russell “didn’t really care” about his drivethrough penalty for passing Alex Albon’s Williams by cutting the chicane in Formula 1’s contentious 2025 Monaco Grand Prix
George Russell showed no remorse for his drivethrough penalty at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, where he cut a chicane to overtake Alex Albon’s Williams. Teams utilized a two-stop strategy, with one car backing up to facilitate pitstops without losing positions. Williams employed this strategy, leading to Russell’s contentious move. Despite the penalty, Russell finished 11th, ahead of the Williams pair in 9th and 10th. Albon and Sainz understood Russell’s tactic, with Albon jokingly calling it “cheeky.” Sainz called for the sport to prevent such manipulations of race outcomes.
