Russell says he needs a 'deep look in the mirror' after another difficult season

George Russell says he and his team have analysed the season and found he has had a trouble-free weekend in only six of the 20 races so far. He said he believed the issues were largely down to misfortune, though the team still needed to check whether anything was being overlooked.

Russell said he skipped his media duties after the Mexico City Grand Prix because of a technical glitch, rather than because Kimi Antonelli had clinched the title. He had lost power on the run to the first corner after the electrical part of the power unit failed to respond, and later collided with Isack Hadjar at Turn Six, earning a 10-second penalty. He finished sixth and dropped to fourth in the drivers' championship.
