George Russell and Oscar Piastri got a little too close for comfort in Suzuka combat...
1996 World Champion Damon Hill was not impressed by a “desperate” lunge from George Russell which forced Oscar Piastri into “evasive action” late in the Japanese Grand Prix .
The drivers were summoned for a visit to the stewards after that exchange, one which Hill does not believe reflects well on Russell.“I thought that was a little bit of an aggressive move actually,” Hill told Sky F1.F1 schedule: When is the next F1 race and where is it being held? Nonetheless, he does not feel that Piastri needed to leave the track, arguing there was room for both of them through the chicane.
“A few tough moments with George, but in the end, I made a mistake and let him past,” Piastri reflected, “disappointing to let that one slip right at the end.”
