George Russell was left frustrated with his race engineer during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, swearing over the team radio after asking about Lewis Hamilton’s race state.
The 25-year-old was running in third place heading into the final stages of the Abu Dhabi GP and wanted to know about the status of his team-mate as the Constructors’ Championship battle with Ferrari intensified.
“How is Lewis getting on?” he asked on Lap 41 before his race engineer replied: “Yeah, he’s doing a good job at the moment. He’s in a fight of his own.”
This answer didn’t cut it for Russell who snapped back: “What the f*** does that mean? How are we doing in the championship? Are we good?”
