## Resource

George Russell admits he fell short in Barcelona, praising his strong start and first stint but criticizing his last two hard-tire stints as the real letdown. Facing a radically different track this year with brutal tire wear, Russell’s two-stop strategy fell short compared to teammate Lewis Hamilton’s three-stop win. Despite finishing third, Russell’s not satisfied—he’s dissecting every detail, reacting to competitors’ moves, and focusing on what he can control. Mercedes plans to reassess in Austria, and Russell’s laser-focused on leveling up to stay in the championship hunt. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
