fans have noticed a bizarre trend around commentator David Croft and George Russell. Russell, 26, crashed out of the
Australian Grand Prix during the penultimate lap in the early hours of Sunday morning (March 24). Russell, who was closely following Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin, lost control of his Mercedes on turn six. The Brit smashed into the barriers before the car flipped onto its side and back on the middle of the track. A panicked Russell could then be heard pleading for a red flag as he was prone on the track.

Singapore GP last season, moments before the incident Croft had uttered the exact same sentence. To add more spookiness to the situation, Carlos Sainz won both of the races in question. Speaking after the race, Russell said: "I've gone off and that's on me, but I was half-a-second behind Fernando 100 metres before the corner and, suddenly, he came towards me extremely quickly and I was right on his gearbox. "I don't know if he had a problem or not - it's gone to the stewards. That's a bit bizarre in a circumstance like this. I've got nothing more to say right now, I'm just disappointed to end the race like that."
