George Russell is prepared to face the consequences of his own actions following his Austin crash.
Despite a “kind offer” from Lewis Hamilton to swap F1 upgrades following his United States GP qualifying crash, George Russell rejected the offer, taking responsibility for his actions and facing the consequences of starting from the pit lane. Russell, who crashed at Turn 19 during Q3 and destroyed the upgrades on his W15, acknowledged Hamilton’s offer to exchange undamaged parts but decided against it. The main concern for Russell is the car’s performance and how it interacts with various factors, with uncertainties about reverting to older upgrades or utilizing new ones. Russell expressed disappointment in himself for pushing too hard to find performance that wasn’t there, resulting in the crash and the loss of hard work put into the upgrades. This season has been a mix of highs and lows, with the car’s performance fluctuating between fighting for poles and wins and struggling to keep up with the pace.
