Russell's retirement saved Mercedes: Chadwick

Three-time W Series champion and Sky Sports F1 pundit Jamie Chadwick believes George Russell's untimely retirement from the Canadian Grand Prix likely saved Mercedes from bitter intra-team fallout. Russell and his teammate Kimi Antonelli had been battling for the lead for 30 laps before the Briton was forced to retire from the race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. amunra-opinie.pl

The Mercedes driver's mechanical failure ended what was shaping up to be a potentially tense situation within the team, as both drivers were competing for victory. Chadwick's analysis suggests the retirement prevented what could have been significant friction between Russell and Antonelli had the battle continued to the finish.
