George Russell has revealed that overheating brakes were responsible for the tyre woes that saw him struggle during the closing
Russell benefited from Perez’s retirement and the red flag stoppage to move up in the race. He struggled to overtake Sainz and had to back off to cool his brakes, causing him to lose tire temperature. This made it difficult for him to defend against Norris but he managed to retain sixth place. Russell acknowledges that the tire issues have affected his performance in the past two races. He believes that with one more lap, Ricciardo would have overtaken him. Russell hopes that the upcoming race in Brazil won’t be as sensitive to tire issues.
