He was terrified. He wanted it red flagged because he was exposed. If someone hit him, it would have hit the floor of the car which would have crippled or killed him as the shock would have gone straight through his spine. Saying his call was performance based seems ignorant of the danger
Also isn't George the head of a committee calling for changing of rules by the FIA because of the issues with the floors of F1 cars? So that combined with the recent deaths of Anthoine Hubert and Dilano van't Hoff, will have made George well aware of the danger he was in. I don't usually like Russell but my heart went out for him in this moment because that's traumatising as anything!
Remember when Fernando took the piss out of JH? Well Herbert just got him back for it, worst penalty ever. Russell said he was looking at his steering wheel and not the track.
I am torn. These cars are soo fast and they often end up millimeters apart, I definitely think that the following driver has the responsibility to react, but at the same time I don't think they should allow something where you intentionally cause a crash and not be penalized. This one, I feel like we all watched it, and didn't know Alonso braked early, and there was no contact... so personally i think it should have been ok. I wonder whether a different driver reacts differently and doesn't crash, and even possibly overtakes? But then again... I have never driven an F1 car... I have no idea how actually early it was, or what effect it had on Russels car (certainly looked like he lost a bunch of downforce).
Just came to pause the video at 0:00 to comment that click baiting the videos makes me instantly click dont recommend channel. Might ahve check out the video if u wernt using russel from williams era to clickbait ur thumbnail

Kinda interesting Herbert was the steward!!
They will put brake lights and big speedometers on the back of cars
...and Russell wouldn't have seen either, because he was looking at his steering wheel.
