George Russell insists he has “zero hard feelings” about Mercedes’ use of team orders during the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
Russell added: “Of course, difficult for the team to judge. But as I said, myself I've got one goal, which is to finish P2 in the constructors' championship for the team.
“Lewis has had a really consistent season this year. He's in a battle for P3 in the drivers' championship."Worst case, we lost two extra points there. But we could have ended up with four points less, so when you take the averages, the team made the right call. "And from my side, zero hard feelings. As I said, we've got to work on the car and we're not going to get upset over a potential fifth and sixth loss versus a fifth and a seventh.”
Russell also said he had no complaints about how hard Hamilton battled him, saying he viewed their duel as “good, hard racing”. “It’s just hard, fair racing,” he explained. “Of course, we lost a bit of overall time fighting with one another and again, you are a bit frustrated on the radio but that’s just part of racing.”
