via espn.com'An incredibly difficult pill to swallow': Monaco's impact on Russell title hopesGeorge Russell faced significant challenges during the Monaco Grand Prix, finishing in 12th place after starting sixth. His performance reflects a broader struggle this season, as he now sits 68 points behind teammate Kimi Antonelli, who has won five consecutive races. Russell's race was marred by a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, which he attributed to a software issue rather than a driving error. Despite these setbacks, he remains in contention with 16 races left in the season. Russell's frustrations stem from a series of unfortunate events, including a retirement while leading in Canada and difficulties in overtaking during the Monaco race. He acknowledged that many factors affecting his performance were beyond his control, making it a challenging season. As he looks to bounce back, the upcoming races will be crucial for his championship hopes.
