George Russell dropped a number of f-bombs over his team radio following his first lap elimination from the Belgian Grand Prix.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Mercedes driver was inadvertently collected by Lewis Hamilton at Turn 5 after being what Russell described as “swamped” following a loss of battery power out of Turn 1 after the power unit failed to harvest.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Throughout the Spa weekend, Russell had been struggling with straight-line speed, even losing four-tenths to team-mate Kimi Antonelli alone in the final sector on their best qualifying laps in Q3.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Russell’s retirement and Antonelli’s victory mean the Italian now holds a 50-point advantage over the Briton, with Hamilton, who received a five-second time penalty for the incident, moving ahead and into second place in the drivers’ standings.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Immediately following the contact, Russell dropped a number of f-bombs over the team radio after his third non-score of the season, after 12th in Monaco and a DNF in Canada.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“I am out. What the f**k happened with the SoC (State of Charge) down the straight,” he began.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“I had no f**king battery down the straight.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“Guys, unacceptable. Un-f**king acceptable this whole weekend.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Russell dropped a number of f-bombs over his team radio following his first lap elimination from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813759,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-813758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
