George Russell has said losing the Formula 1 title was “tough to deal with” after his season unravelled while Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli progressed to the championship.
Russell described Antonelli’s title success as the contrasting outcome to his own campaign. While Antonelli marched towards the championship, Russell said his season deteriorated in a way that proved difficult to accept.
The comments highlight the different paths taken by the two Mercedes drivers during the season. Antonelli secured the title, while Russell was left reflecting on how his challenge had fallen away.
Russell’s remarks provide his assessment of the end of the campaign, but no further details about the races or events that led to his loss of form were included.
