George Russell reported he had a puncture on the final lap of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Mercedes’ data showed no sign of any problem with the tyre and Russell was able to take the chequered flag without drama.
“We can see the pressure on all four tyres live. So we would spot a puncture normally before even the driver sees it. Certainly, if it was a relatively slow puncture we'd say it before the driver. “We told him the gap to the car behind just so that he knows he doesn't need to push. There's no one within four seconds, and he can actually take it easy for the remainder of the lap.”
