'I’m not in the fight for the drivers’ title' – Russell

George Russell has expressed doubts about his chances in the Drivers' Championship after his teammate Kimi Antonelli secured his eighth victory of the season in Madrid. Russell finished fifth in the race, leaving him significantly behind Antonelli in the standings, which has led him to focus more on helping his team win the Constructors' Championship instead of pursuing individual glory.

Despite a strong start to the weekend, Russell struggled with strategy decisions during the race, including multiple pit stops that did not yield the desired results. He acknowledged the challenges of overtaking on the track and emphasized the importance of contributing to the team's overall performance as they aim for the Constructors' title.
