George Russell hits out at his rivals for their tactics at the start of the Mexico City Grand Prix.
George Russell criticized drivers for their “lawnmower racing” at the start of the Mexico City Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen cut Turn 2, bypassing the track after a crowded start with Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. Russell, looking to advance, stayed on track but believes he lost out by not taking shortcuts like his rivals. He expressed frustration at the lack of penalties for cutting corners and felt that rules were being exploited. While Hamilton received a penalty for gaining an advantage off-track, Russell thought Leclerc and Verstappen should’ve faced similar consequences. Despite encountering setbacks, Russell finished sixth in the race.
