## Resource

George Russell has quietly conceded he’s out of the championship race after teammate Kimi Antonelli snatched his eighth win in Madrid, leaving Russell 81 points behind. Despite being fastest in practice and qualifying sixth, Russell admits the title fight is over, pivoting focus to helping Mercedes clinch the constructors’ crown. He questioned the team’s two-stop strategy during the race but ultimately accepted it wouldn’t have changed much given the track’s overtaking challenges. Now, with his sights set on team success, Russell aims to finish strong — even if personal glory is no longer within reach.
