Russell has questioned the decision-making of the FIA stewards after what he called 'totally unnecessary' first red flag in the AustralianGP. 'I don't really know what's going on with some of the decisions at the moment.' F1
In his assessment of the handling of the incident, Russell questioned the FIA's decision-making.
The Grand Prix Drivers' Association director said:"I thought the red flag was totally unnecessary. There was obviously quite a bit of gravel on the track, but there was a clear racing line. We've seen it far worse in the past. "It's sort of reminiscent of the decision of last week in Saudi to bring out the safety car when the car was totally off the track.Photo by: Jake Grant /"So, I don't really know what's going on with some of the decisions at the moment.
"We're all trying to work together with the FIA to improve things, but it's seemingly a bit of a challenge." Russell, who eventually retired owing to a power unit failure, reckoned his Australian GP weekend performance was a match for his maiden F1 victory in Brazil last season.
