George Russell following comments made after the Sprint at Imola.The British driver criticised the proceedings in Saturday's event as 'processional', despite being heralded for its entertainment by many as Max Verstappen overtook Charles Leclerc late on - providing the platform for his race victory on Sunday.Mercedes continued to struggle across the weekend, however, with both Russell and Lewis Hamilton starting outside the top 10 on the grid, though the former charged his way through the pack to secure an excellent fourth-place finish.Had Mercedes started higher on the grid, that performance could have been even better and Russell stated after the Sprint that the event was not long enough and suggested an extension to the distance following 'processional' proceedings.Those comments were quickly batted away by F1 director Brawn though, who stated Russell's comments were 'not really what we listen to' and instead indicated that the views of drivers higher up the grid would see their thoughts carry more weight.Naturally, that caused quite a stir and Brawn has now moved to clarify his remarks, pointing out the fact that drivers often complain when things don't quite go in their favour and made it clear the views of all drivers would be considered."I just know from my own experience that psychologically, a driver at the back of the grid has got all sorts of other things going on.HAVE YOUR SAY! Was the Sprint race at Imola better than standard qualifying? Comment below."It would be great if there were things going on at the back but we had a Mercedes that couldn't overtake the cars in front, but there was plenty of overtaking going on in the middle and up the front. Of course, we will listen.

George Russell has explained the car's struggles so far this season and believes his fourth-placed finish at Imola was 'fortunate'.The ex-Williams ace has finished in the top five in each of his four races for Mercedes so far this season, rising from 12th on the grid at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to maintain that record and ease frustrations after a difficult weekend.Friday's qualifying session saw Mercedes fail to reach the final round for the first time in a decade, while Russell and teammate Lewis Hamilton were unable to improve on their starting positions for the race in Saturday's Sprint.Russell did at least have reasons to be cheerful when the chequered flag was raised at Imola though following his triumphant charge through the grid, with Hamilton finishing outside the points and Toto Wolff admitting the car was 'undriveable'.Mercedes' 'porpoising' issues have been well documented this season, with the team unable to retain pace like the Ferrari's have despite their own issues with bouncing, but Russell explained that it's not the only problem they need to overcome."I’m relatively pleased to maximise the points available this weekend. Whether we’re getting the most out of the car is a different story and I do think things have fallen slightly in our favour with these first four races.

Lewis Hamilton, after the Mercedes driver encountered further woes at Imola.A poor weekend for the seven-time world champion culminated in a frustrating afternoon at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, where Hamilton narrowly avoided a collision in the pit lane with Esteban Ocon and could only finish 13th - while teammate George Russell came fourth.To add further salt to the wounds, Hamilton suffered the embarrassment of being lapped by Max Verstappen - the man who he went toe-to-toe with for the title last season and the man he now cannot even get close to keeping pace with. Verstappen played down the lapping, which happened on lap 40, stating: "They've been slow all year so for me it's not really anything exciting, it just happens."Red Bull chief Marko, however, certainly enjoyed what he witnessed and couldn't help but to take the opportunity to make a swipe at Hamilton: "I mean, he was lapped by us.

Lewis Hamilton is 'unhappy' amid the team's continued struggles, with further issues encountered ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.The German outfit have been unable to fix their 'porpoising' issues in the opening rounds of the season, with those problems once again prevalent in Friday's qualifying and the team unable to find the pace in the Sprint to work their way back up the grid.That has already seen Hamilton declare that the team are 'obviously' not competing with Ferrari and Red Bull for the title this season, although the Brit has also made it clear that he has no desire to vacate his position.Still, it's easy to see that all is not well at Mercedes and the fallout of the struggles started to come to a head on Friday with Hamilton pictured in fierce discussions with team principal Toto Wolff following the exit in Q2.Coulthard has now had his say on the situation and has issued a frank assessment of the position that Hamilton and Mercedes find themselves in, stating: “Inevitably he’s not happy about that. The team are not happy about it.

George Russell's claims that the first Sprint of the 2022 season at Imola was 'processional'.Max Verstappen emerged victorious ahead of Charles Leclerc, while Mercedes continued to be way off the pace and finished outside of the top 10 - with Lewis Hamilton already writing off his team's title chances this season.While the Sprint was heralded for it's entertainment, with Red Bull's Verstappen overtaking his Ferrari counterpart on the final laps to seal victory and maximum points, those views were not shared by Russell. The British driver stated after the event that it was a 'processional', suggesting the Sprint was not long enough to lead to true competitiveness - despite the overtaking from the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren during the 21 laps at Imola.Those comments were presented to F1 director Ross Brawn, who appeared to issue a dig at Mercedes' struggles so far this season by stating the opinions of the drivers towards the front of the grid would carry the most weight.“Whenever my driver’s had a bad car he’s complained about the race.

George Russell has snubbed Michael Schumacher when choosing the greatest Formula One driver of all-time, instead opting for teammate Lewis Hamilton.Both Hamilton and Schumacher have won more world titles than anyone else, with the pair both tied on seven triumphs after the British driver was dramatically beaten to the title last season by Red Bull's Max Verstappen.Hamilton's successes have come in a period of dominance for Mercedes, while Schumacher's triumphs came during the glory days of Ferrari's prime in the first part of the millennia. The pair are both widely-regarded among the greatest drivers in the long-established history of Formula One but choosing between them has been a difficult task for many fans.However, Russell seems to have no such problems as he not-so-subtly dubbed Hamilton the greatest when discussing how he sees a potential battle with his Mercedes colleague."I think because we're at different stages of our career there's no hard feelings either way.
