How George Russell finished second in Bahrain Grand Prix with malfunctioning car

As the Bahrain Grand Prix unfolded, George Russell found himself in second place, but his race was far from smooth sailing. The Mercedes driver faced a series of system failures that put his podium finish in jeopardy. Team principal Toto Wolff described the car as “wounded” as different systems began to fail one by one.

First, Russell experienced a brake-by-wire failure, which made it challenging for him to control the car under braking. This was followed by a loss of GPS, which affected his ability to use the Drag Reduction System (DRS) effectively. His race engineer had to guide him on when to use the DRS over the radio.

Despite these setbacks, Russell managed to hold off a charging Lando Norris and secure a second-place finish. Wolff praised Russell’s performance as “unbelievable” and credited the driver for saving the result. However, the post-race investigation into a possible DRS infringement added a layer of uncertainty.

Russell explained that the race was a constant battle, with issues plaguing his car internally while appearing flawless externally. A brake-by-wire failure, GPS malfunction, and DRS problems all added to the complexity of the situation. The stewards ultimately found no sporting advantage gained from the DRS issue, allowing Russell to keep his second-place finish.

Despite the challenges, Russell’s drive showcased his skill and determination. Wolff highlighted the driver’s ability to navigate a compromised car and secure valuable points for Mercedes in a season where they are not expected to challenge for the championships. The result was a testament to Russell’s talent and the team’s resilience in the face of adversity.

Looking ahead, Mercedes will need to address the issues that plagued Russell’s car in Bahrain to remain competitive against the dominant McLaren team. Russell’s consistent podium finishes have bolstered the team’s confidence, but catching up to McLaren in the constructor standings will require continued strong performances.

While Russell remains cautious about Mercedes’ title contention prospects, he acknowledges the importance of capitalizing on opportunities to score points. The close battles on track this season highlight the need for teams to be ready to seize the moment when it presents itself. As the season progresses, Mercedes will aim to build on Russell’s impressive drive in Bahrain and stay in the hunt for valuable points.
