Wolff: Russell ‘was really giving it all he had’ in Singapore
Russell was chasing his second career Formula 1 victory at Singapore’s Marina Bay Circuit. After pitting for fresh Medium tires, he was able to charge back towards the leading group, aided by teammate Lewis Hamilton. However, passing Norris proved difficult, and leader Sainz used DRS to defend. Unfortunately, Russell’s race came to an end on the final lap when he made contact with the outside barrier. Despite the disappointment, Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff believes this mistake will benefit Russell in the long run and expects him to learn from it. Russell remains in seventh place in the Drivers’ Championship standings and will look to bounce back in Japan.
