A poetic victory for Hamilton fill-in George Russell was not to be as Racing Point’s Sergio Pérez steals the Sakhir Grand Prix away from the Mercedes team.
The 22-year-old Russell put on an excellent showcase and may have secured the Sakhir GP had it not been for an unlikely mishap in the pits, leaving Russell gutted but proud of his performance.
Despite the results, George Russell made a statement with his performance, with Mercedes’ team-boss stating that “he has all the potential and all the ingredients that a future star needs.”
