Russell on Mercedes anti-stall issue and difficult season
George Russell says he has "never had a season like this" after a Mercedes anti-stall issue left him crawling off the line and dropping to the back at the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix. Russell said: "Obviously the problems are happening, but the whole team feels it as well. They're as p****d off as I am with how it's unfolded. We need to look at ourselves and ensure it's nothing we're doing wrong that is contributing to these errors. It's not like we're the only one, but it does feel like it is happening substantially more to me than others. Hopefully it swings around... I've never had a season like this in my whole career, let alone my F1 career."

It’s absolutely understandable that when you lead the race for almost half [of it], and then you see yourself losing the lead because of an episode with a backmarker, then you know you may have a moment and make a comment in anger. But there’s absolutely no problem from this point of view."
