Russell: Red Bull are holding back so the FIA doesn't slow them down

George Russell says that Red Bull drivers did not show how fast their RB19 car really is, as the team from Milton Keynes were afraid that the umbrella organization would slow them down.

PENALTY POINTS of the 2020 season: VETTEL from villain to saint

formula 1

From villain to saint: Sebastian Vettel has made a remarkable change on the track this season, at least in terms of penalty points. Last year, the German would have won this "competition", but this year he did not earn a single point. At the top of this season’s penalty points table is Alex Albon, who lost his seat at Red Bull for a second year. The Briton of Thai roots was the only one to score seven points. In Silverstone (collision with Magnussen), Monza (expulsion of Grosjean), Sochi (wrong return to the track) and Nürburgring (collision with Quiat). Otherwise, Lewis Hamilton would have reigned supreme if the commissioners in Sochi had not subsequently deleted his penalty points for testing starts in the wrong place. Thus, the current champion with six points took only the second place, which he shares with his compatriot George Russell. Hamilton

George Russell wants to pass on many of the ideas he saw at Mercedes to Williams as well. Dave Robson, at Williams in charge of racing performance
