George Russell has apologised to Carlos Sainz for the collision that forced the Ferrari F1 driver out of the USGP at the start of the race. 'I hold my hands up to that.'
Russell subsequently received a five-second penalty from the FIA stewards for causing a collision. However, he was hurt even more by front wing damage that meant he didn’t feel comfortable all afternoon.
“When I was attacking into Turn 1 and I saw he was on the outside of Max [Verstappen] I was expecting him to try to hold it around the outside of him, and as soon as I recognised he was trying to cut back underneath Max, I had already committed to my braking zone, and contact was inevitable.“If he was holding it around the outside of Max for sure I would’ve been fine, as I was battling with Lewis, not with those cars ahead.
“Initially we didn’t think there was much damage, but I’ve got to say it was probably the worst Sunday of my year today,” he said. Expanding on how it felt, he said: “It was a bit all over the place, the balance was inconsistent through the stint, and through the lap. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff confirmed that after the race the team discovered that Russell’s wing was indeed damaged.
