George Russell: Max Verstappen is “win it or bin it, that’s his style”
George Russell says "we’ve all been racing Max for a long tim♊e..."

George Russell described 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s driving as “win it or ♛bin it” after their clash at the F1 Spanis🌠h Grand Prix.
The latest in a series of Verstappen v Russell skirmishes came in Barcelona on Sunday, when the Red Bull driver was penalised for contact with his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes counterpart.
Verstappen, struggling on a hard tyre and asked to concede position back to Russell before “ramming him”, according to Nico ജRosberg, was given a 10-second time penalty.
“He’s a hard racer, it's as simple as that,” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell told Channel 4.
“He’s a ‘win it or bin it’ kind of guy.
“In the past few years he has🌟 been out in front so we haven’t seen i๊t.
“But we’ve al🤡l been racing Max for a long time, sinc𝐆e 2011.
“That’s his style. I won’t say anything negative about it because he’s a four-time world champion and I’m a zerജo-time wo⛄rld champion so he’s obviously doing something right.
“But there are o🧸bviously a lot of young kids who look up to all of the F1 drivers.
“You se✤e things like he did in Im🍌ola, and you’ve got to take your hat off.
“Then you see thingꦍs like today and it seemed🌊 unnecessary. I don’t really understand the rationale.”
George Russell asked how to defend against Max Verstappen

Verstappen previously responded to Russell’s concerns about the influence on aspiring drivers by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果𒀰:sarcastically saying “I’ll bring s🍌ome tissues”.
Although he initially refused to answer whether it was a deliberate move, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Verstappen later expressed regret.
Christian Horner revealed that Vers🔜tappen apologised to Red Bull at their debrief.
Bu🅰t Russell knows there is nothing that can be done differently to combat Verstappen’s aggressive tactics.
“Not really. You just continue racing as you ▨do,” ♎he said.
“We came home ahead of him. He probably could have fought back to the podium becaus🃏e Charles and I, on the soft tyre, were dropping. It would have🦩 come back to him.
“I’m just glad we had no damage and could finish the rac🌊e in P4.”
Russell de😼scribed the incident: “From my ꦑside, he just crashed into me! So I was a little bit surprised.
“Turn 1 there was a bit of contact. He kep✅t the place. Rightly so, he gave me the position back at Turn 5.
“But when he did that, he went on the throttle and crash♚ed into the side of m✱e.
“I don’t know what was going on. We finished P4, he got🔯 the penalty and finished P10, so I w🥃on’t lose sleep over it.”
He aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdded: “I’ve seen those sort of moves in simulator rac🙈ing before.
“I’ve never seen it in Formula♏ 1. It’s down to the stewards if they think it was deliberate.”
The incident overshadowed a solid reღsult for Mercedes driver Russell.
Without any imminent upgrades, he is left hoping for favoura﷽ble weather.
“Right🐭 now, all we need is a cloudy day and cold conditions,” he said.
“The trends are clear - when it’s cool, or a night race, we are pretty good. When it’s hot and toasty the McLarens go off into ﷽the distance and we go backwards.”
