Lewis on incident with George:
“I will text George later on. The last thing you ever want to do is come together with your teammates or with your old team you highly respect.”
Toto has said, "ALL Mercedes engines had a software issue from the start onwards."
Antonelli LIFTS his throttle, still gets to 318 kph right after.
Piastri reaches 337 kph,
Norris reaches 344 kph.
meanwhile - Russell's speed is CAPPED at >308 kph< for nearly 4 WHOLE SECONDS.
🚨 George speaking to Sky Sports F1:
🗣️"I just got totally swallowed up down the straight. I lost three positions down the straight down into Turn Five and then the incident was a racing incident,"
"Maybe I could have gone a bit wider, maybe he could have braked a bit more, the incident shouldn't have happened if I had the speed down the straight.
"Very, very disappointed. Nothing to say. No words at the moment."
"I appreciate everyone is working hard to solve the problem but I'm stood here on lap five of the race [in the pen]. It felt like I was in a good position to fight for the lead up to Turn One and then, suddenly, no power and it's all gone."

The Spa-Francochamps circuit is shaped like a gun. This is a subtle reference to what I’ll be putting to my head after qualifying tonight.
