Russell vents his frustration after losing to Antonelli again

Once again, Mercedes was overtaken from all sides at the start of the race, but thanks to their pace, Russell and Antonelli managed to fight their way back to the front. The strategy and the safety car worked out perfectly for the young Italian, but not for Russell. After the restart he was stuck behind the Ferraris, and he eventually crossed the finish line in fourth place.

Asked by Viaplay whether this was the most frustrating race so far, Russell said "yes."

He continued: "I mean, one lap difference and probably a race win to be honest. Then safety car restart, hit what's called a harvest limit so i couldn't charge my battery. So I got flew by Lewis past me and then obviously another issue with the battery when Charles got past me."

A few weeks ago, when the season began, Russell had nothing to complain about regarding the new rules, but he now admits he has a few points for the FIA and Formula 1.

During the spring break, the parties will sit down to discuss a possible adjustment for the race in Miami. What would Russell like to change now? "No harvest limit on formation lap and under safety car," the Mercedes driver said.
