Did anyone check the Mercedes team radio in the final stages of the race ? What did Mercedes radio Russell ? Did they instruct him to pass Alonso or to back off and simply bring the car home.
If I were Toto Wolff, I wouldn't blame Russell for the crash. OK the repairs cost money, but Russell did all he could - he showed determination, bravery, fighting spirit, he engaged. His accident is no result of recklessness. It's a result of flirting with the limits - givin' it all you got.
