In an episodic Grand Prix in Austria, the George Russell he took advantage of his conflict Max Verstappen and his Lando Norris and gave Mercedes their first win since November 2022.
The McLaren driver, after the race, blamed him Verstappen about the conflict between them, stressing that he will only respect the Dutchman if he comes out and admits his mistake and characterizing his behavior “stupid and dangerous”.
In detail what he said:
“I think it was a good fight up until that point. We were a bit behind Max in the first and second stints. But they made more mistakes than us, like in the pit stop, which they are not used to. They were clearly under pressure. I feel like I had a good fight, I was in the fight the whole time.
The conditions were difficult, so it was easy to make a mistake. I feel disappointed, the car was completely destroyed. Pity. If I could get to the pits with the car in better condition I could get some points. I don’t know what they will say, I gave a fair, respectful and borderline fight, but they didn’t give me the same back. I did nothing wrong, he should come out and say something, not me.
If he says he did nothing wrong, then he loses my respect. If he admits that his behavior was stupid and dangerous, then he will have my respect. But it is something difficult to digest. Everyone is fighting for victory.”
