In Sunday’s Baku race Russell had to take avoiding action on the lap 13 restart not to hit Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso into Turn 1. Russell had to veer right, which made him miss the apex of the 90-degree left-hander and left him wide onto the dirt on exit. That gave the chasing Lance Stroll […]
