Russell speared his Williams into side of Bottas’s carWolff reminds Russell he is a Mercedes junior driverThe Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, has dismissed George Russell’s suggestion that his crash with Valtteri Bottas at the Emilia Romagna
Grand Prix was caused because the Finn feels his future is under threat from the
British driver. Wolff issued a stern rebuke to Russell and warned how the incident at Imola could have an impact on the championship ambitions this season for
Lewis Hamilton and the team.
Russell is a Mercedes junior driver racing for Williams and is considered highly likely to take a seat at his parent team in the near future. Last season he stood in for Hamilton at the Sakhir Grand Prix after the world champion tested positive for
Coronavirus.
