Lewis Hamilton applauded George Russell as the 26-year-old took his second Formula 1 victory in Austria.
The race had a surprising conclusion, with Russell emerging as the winner. The British driver started the race in fourth position, behind McLaren. This unexpected victory for Mercedes and Russell surprised the Formula 1 community and everyone on the track.
After the race ended, George Russell’s teammate showed his appreciation by applauding him from the car. Hamilton’s gesture served to congratulate Russell and show his support and admiration for his teammate’s achievement. It also highlighted the sportsmanship that exists between teammates in the highly competitive world of Formula 1.
Russell’s victory can largely be attributed to the battle between main competitors Norris and Verstappen. The two drivers engaged in an intense wheel-to-wheel duel, resulting in contact between the cars of Norris and Verstappen. This collision forced Norris to abandon the race, although he had started in second position. Verstappen, meanwhile, managed to change his tires during the pit stop following the incident. This turnaround created an opportunity for Russell and Piastri at the back of the pack. Russell maintained his lead and secured the victory.
Max Verstappen’s loss can also be attributed to a delay during Red Bull’s pit stop. The team took over 6 seconds to change Verstappen’s tires, which is an exceptionally long duration and a rare occurrence for Red Bull. This prolonged pit stop resulted in Verstappen spending a lot of time in the pits, which caused him to lose track positions. Eventually, this led to his collision with Norris, leading to the incident.
When George Russell was leading the race, the team principal encouraged him over team radio. He expressed confidence in Russell’s ability to win the race after identifying an opportunity for the British driver following the incident involving Norris and Verstappen. With Norris forced to retire and Verstappen receiving a 10-second penalty, Russell found himself in the lead.
While leading the race after the incident between Norris and Verstappen, George Russell commented over the radio that the race was not over until he emerged as the winner. Russell anticipated the dynamics of the race and recognized the opportunity to capitalize on the situation. The race took an unexpected turn at the end, resulting in a surprising victory for Russell. This was particularly unexpected, as no one predicted that Max Verstappen would be defeated by Russell and Mercedes at Red Bull’s home race in Austria.
Toto Wolff expressed his belief in Russell’s potential to win the race, saying: “George, you can win this”. Both Wolff and teammate Lewis Hamilton expressed immense satisfaction with George Russell’s triumph at the Red Bull Ring. Despite Verstappen’s strong performance in qualifying and the Sprint, Red Bull fans were disappointed to see their team fail to take victory at their home track. Russell’s unexpected win marked a significant triumph for Mercedes over Red Bull in their own backyard.
