Russell Explains Mexico GP Radio Fury
George Russell had a heated exchange with his race engineer on Mercedes' team radio during the Mexico City Grand Prix.
After a "frustrating" race, Russell discussed the delay in team orders that left him stuck behind teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
The tension began to rise on lap 35, when Russell requested permission to pass Antonelli, saying:
"We got a Ferrari and a Haas ahead, we can fight for the podium here!"
Mercedes responded with a "free to race" call, but no firm team orders to let him pass, leading to Russell's frustration.
