Heartbroken Russell ‘let Mercedes down’ with last-lap crash
George Russell, the Mercedes driver, was in third place and closing in on Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz on the final lap when he hit the wall at Turn 10 and crashed into the barriers. This marked a devastating end to what had been a fantastic weekend for Russell, as he had outperformed his teammate Lewis Hamilton and had been in contention for victory throughout the race. Russell expressed his feelings of disappointment and apologized to the team, stating that a small lapse in concentration on the last lap cost him the race. Sky F1 pundit Karun Chandhok mentioned that Russell will be hard on himself and will feel the pain of his mistake for some time. However, there is some consolation as he will have an opportunity to start afresh in Japan next week.
