George Russell Monza Interview 2024

hey George just T me through those opening few hundred meters which I guess ultimately defined your race today yeah it really did I made a good start alongside Oscar he had the slipstream from from Lando and when he pulled out in front of me and hit the brakes I misjudged him hit the brakes my side and I was locking up the rear tires and I was about to crash into him so I had to take avoidant action and that's where it all all went wrong so um really quite disappointed because it's so much hard work goes into all of these weekends for it to go away so quick uh but ultimately I don't think we would have had the pace to fight with um Ferrari and McLaren what are the kind of overriding emotions just not just about today but the whole weekend cuz it kind of fed a little bit up and down I know that that point defined it but well I think it is very very tight at the moment especially in qualifying but McLaren and Ferrari definitely seem to have the edge on us at the moment and it's all a bit strange like when you look at Red Bull's performance nobody would have predicted that five races ago so um either those guys have made big gains or yeah I I don't know what's going on but we need to keep working hard to make some changes
