Russell ‘half a car’s length’ from Singapore GP win
Russell was in second place behind Carlos Sainz after the pit stops, but he took advantage of a Virtual Safety Car period to make a second pit stop. He came out in fourth place but quickly caught up to Charles Leclerc and was faster than the leaders, Sainz and Lando Norris. Russell tried to overtake Norris but was unable to do so, and on the final lap, he crashed into the wall and had to retire from the race. Despite the disappointment, Russell felt that the aggressive strategy was worthwhile and that there were positives to take away from the race. He also mentioned that managing his tires was challenging, with Lewis Hamilton pushing behind him.
