'I think that these two have probably had that race situation hundreds of times in their life so they will have known what what to do.'
Warning Lando Norris that George Russell was “all or nothing”, Toto Wolff surmises McLaren’s message to their driver in Mexico was to tell him “don’t crash we need those points”.
Pulling off passes on Alex Albon, Oscar Piastri and Daniel Ricciardo, Norris worked his way up to sixth place behind Russell.“We know what Russell is like, he’s all or nothing. So you just have patience with him,” was the message from the McLaren pit wall. That opened the door for Norris to pull a switchback move with the McLaren driver quick to hog the racing line and close off any opportunity for Russell to fight back.
“I think that these two have probably had that race situation hundreds of times in their life so they will have known what to do,” he said.The team boss believes Russell’s efforts on Sunday were hampered by tyre issues with the Briton having hounded Carlos Sainz before being forced to back off when his tyres began to overheat.“I think we need to understand what actually happened to George because he was pushing very, very strong behind Sainz, but so did Lewis,” he said.
