Hi all,

Sport can be a cruel mistress sometimes, and this Sakhir GP proved to be no different for Geroge Russell.  

After Lewis Hamilton Contracted Covid 19, Mercedes drafted in George Russell from Williams as a replacement, and he was so close to achieving an incredible result on his Mercedes debut, but it wasn't meant to be.

Courtney and I discuss the fallout from an incredible Sakhir GP where it was Sergio Perez who deservedly got the win after a fantastic roller coaster saw him fall from 5th all the way to dead last after a collision with Verstappen & Leclerc, which eventually would result in him taking his maiden victory in F1.

We also discuss how George Russell drove an incredible race on his first time out for Mercedes, only for it to be cruely taken away from him at the end through no fault of his own. But we also look at the positives from his incredible performance, especially compared to his experienced team mate Valterri Bottas, and what that could mean for both of their futures with Mercedes.

And we also round up the remainder of the teams and drivers, and how their weekends faired at this grand prix, including an update on Romain Grosjean's F1 future...

Don't forget we still have the giveaway that we mentioned in the previous episode! In order to win, all you have to do is like the video, subscribe to the DNF1 - F1 Podcast YouTube channel, follow us on Instagram and send us a DM to show us you have done that. You could win some great prizes!!!
