During a dinner in Monaco, George Russell picked the most expensive meal, but he teased Alex Albon for driving like a “grandma” in the previous grand prix. Despite starting 14th due to an electrical issue, Russell found himself stuck behind Albon and Sainz during the race due to their strategic backing off. Russell’s frustration led him to cut a corner and receive a drive-through penalty to overtake Albon. The friends reconciled over dinner, with Albon footing the bill, but Russell jokingly mentioned that the debt wasn’t fully paid yet. Russell explained his move was out of fatigue from being behind Albon’s slow pace, adding humor to the situation.
