For George Russell the Silverstone accident put an end not only to his race but also to the streak of top-5 finishes that lasted from the first round of 2022. Not bad for the British Mercedes, who from a competitive point of view has the only I regret not staying in the car and saving a Grand Prix that could still have had some surprises in store for him. However, F1 drivers are men, even before athletes, and that Russell’s race to make sure of Alex Albon and Guanyu Zhou’s conditions is a great message that is worth much more than a potential podium and an entry in the statistics book. .
#Russell: “My reaction at Silverstone I think was natural, seeing the red flag is that terrible accident. At first I thought our car was KO, but then it turned out that it wasn’t. Too bad, we could have done a good result “# F1 #AustrianGP

# 63 retraced those excited moments: “Mine was a natural reaction. Seeing the red flag and that terrifying accident it was natural to get out of the car, also because it seemed irreparable to me. Then, unfortunately, we discovered that this was not the case: there is a bit of frustration because we could have achieved a good result“, These are the words of Russell in the press conference of the Red Bull Ring, an appointment towards which Mercedes has hopes of reconfirmation. Russell, however, warned of him, because the Austrian circuit is a very different circuit from Silverstone: “We must not get too carried away by the result, at Silverstone we had a lot of energy and great potential. This circuit is different, it has medium speed and not high speed corners. However, at Silverstone we took a step in the right direction and we will see how it goes“.
