, shared a mixed reaction to his performance, noting it as a "missed opportunity" despite achieving his first podium of the year. Russell highlighted his team's competitiveness, especially on intermediate and medium tires, but rued a costly overtaking mistake with Oscar Piastri that saw him lose a potential second-place finish.
Reflecting on his race, Russell noted: "It felt like a missed opportunity. We were really quick on the inters at the beginning, then Lando came through." His frustration was palpable as he recounted the sequence of events, including his switch back to slick tires. "I made a couple of mistakes out there, pushing the limits and paid the price for it.
The potential for a better outcome was clear in Russell's review of the race. With optimal tire performance on the medium tires toward the race's end, Russell believed he had the speed to challenge even Verstappen. "We had the pace. Max was very hard to chase but when we put the mediums on at the end, we were really fast," he explained.
