Mercedes, George Russell goes down hard on Lando Norris

The words of George Russell

Speaking at the microphones of "Sky Sport F1", Mercedes driver George Russell, among other topics, did not hide his frustration with the behavior implemented by Lando Norris during the Sprint Race of the Qatar GP, which allowed Oscar Piastri to avoid being overtaken.

"We came very close to Piastri in Turn 1 on several occasions. For me è it was frustrating, becauseé Lando was constantly slowing down and giving Oscar the DRS. Clearly è it&#39s understandable why they did that, but when you&#39re here you want to be able to fight and give the fans a little bit of a show as well. It was a little irritating, but we take a good third place" began the Mercedes driver.

"Lando had a good pace, while Oscar was starting to struggle with the tires. I would have liked to struggle with Norris to understand his pace, although I think he had something more than me" added the'former Williams.

"Now we have to concentrate hard for qualifying, which will be the most important event today. It's important to start as far ahead as possible, so that we can be able to manage the tires more calmly" commented George Russell.
