Russell pinpoints reason behind high-profile crashes
George Russell has acknowledged that his two Formula 1 crashes were a result of him pushing beyond the limits. In Singapore, he was attempting to pass Lando Norris for second place and challenge the race leader Carlos Sainz, but he clipped the wall and lost a podium finish. During the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Russell was also in contention for points but crashed embarrassingly behind the Safety Car. Reflecting on these incidents, Russell admitted that he was trying too hard to achieve better results, as he had done in his junior racing days. He explained that he is now taking more risks and aiming for big results because he wants to test himself against the best drivers in the world. Despite the crashes, Russell appreciates the challenge of racing and accepts the consequences of pushing the limits.
