Mercedes team representative Bradley Lord has reflected on George Russell’s “frustrating” Mexico Grand Prix, claiming the British driver was “hung out to dry on lap six”.
The start of the race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has come under scrutiny after multiple drivers left the track and either kept or gained positions without receiving penalties. After keeping it within the white lines at the chaotic start, the British driver claimed he had to take avoiding action on lap six when Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were in an intense battle, which caused him to lose more positions.
