JEDDAH, March 20 — George Russell offered Fernando Alonso a word of sympathy but added that he was glad to take home the third-place “silverware” yesterday after the Spaniard’s post-race penalty at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Russell made a point of speaking to Alonso and said “hard lines, mate” but was still happy to claim the trophy awarded for a third-place finish. Mercedes finished third and fifth but still far behind the commanding Red Bulls as Sergio Perez claimed his fifth career victory ahead of defending double champion Max Verstappen.“You’ve got to give credit to what Red Bull have done,” Russell said. “The gap is bigger than any since Mercedes in 2014. It’s a serious gap and everyone needs to work harder.”
“We’ve made the right decision over the winter and we can regain our pace quicker now,” Russell said. “We want to win races and fight for the championship.His team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, who finished a strong fifth, said: “We got some great points as a team today. George got third, which is amazing. I went forward, one foot in front of the other!“The strategy didn’t work for me. The set-up was a bit off. If I had George’s set-up I would be in a better position.
