Mercedes have refuted suggestions that members of the team were not present to celebrate Lewis Hamilton’s podium finish at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.
Allison revealed that Russell was “absolutely inconsolable” in the immediate aftermath of his race-ending, last-lap crash.
“I am sure none of you will be surprised to know that he was completely devastated,” Allison explained. “Probably it is very easy for us to underestimate just how much these drivers put into their driving, how much it matters to them. “We all know it is important but the degree to which it dominates all their decisions is something that is easy for us to underestimate, and George was absolutely inconsolable in the immediate aftermath of the race.
“However, it is a testament to his character to the strength of his character that instead of crawling into a little hole and suffering in silence notwithstanding the fact that he was that upset he came out he spoke to every single person on the team at the track, apologised to them in person for his mistake and owned it properly.”
