Russell Slams Mercedes After Belgian Crash | F1 News

George Russell admits his Belgian Grand Prix weekend was “not good enough,” after a disastrous start saw him crash out on the opening lap following a collision with teammate Lewis Hamilton. The incident, triggered by Russell’s aggressive move around the outside, sent him into gravel while Hamilton received a penalty. Russell blamed his early battery issues for putting him in a tough position, calling it a racing incident but also noting he wouldn’t have been in that spot if things had gone differently. Now 25 points behind teammate Kimi Antonelli in the standings, Russell is frustrated with Mercedes’ ongoing performance and is determined to reset and improve ahead of the next race.
