In the round-up: George Russell says Williams could have scored points if he’d pitted around the same time as Pierre Gasly.
What they say
The car was feeling really good, really fast. Just unfortunately we had no straight-line speed so every time I overtook a car they just re-overtook me again down into turn four and was back ahead of me before the brakes. Which was a real shame.
We were unfortunate not to be pitting before Safety Car and red flag. I really believe we could have scored points today had we been in that position. But that’s just the luck of how it went. Otherwise, I think we did a good job.

2/2 I wish the team all the best for Le Mans and look forward to being back at the race, which I have competed in and being successful at with a factory team in the past, in 2021.
