F1: Mercedes apologises to Russell for qualifying mistake

The Hindu  

Mercedes apologised to George Russell on Saturday after a qualifying error left last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix pole-sitter languishing 18th on the Formula One grid. We should have put him in a much better position on track and we’ve apologised to him for that,” said team boss Toto Wolff. “It’s obviously very disappointing when we see the promise of the car and that he didn’t get the opportunity to get a clean run in.” Russell said the car had felt great, but he was three tenths down before he even got to turn one. “Really disappointed because we didn’t need to take so many risks.the car was more than quick enough to get through to Q2 or Q3,” he added.
