A visibly-emotional George Russell said he felt as though he had
'let myself and the team down' after the Mercedes driver's thrilling late pursuit of victory ended with a crash into the barriers on the final lap of a dramatic Singapore Grand Prix. In a breathless end to the race as four drivers vied for victory - including both Mercedes' after second pit stops for newer tyres - Russell was hounding second-placed Lando Norris but tagged the wall on the entry to Turn 10 and went straight on and out of the race.
Russell then ran close behind the Ferrari until Mercedes used the appearance of a Virtual Safety Car to cede track position with both their cars and gamble on switching to the new sets of medium tyres they had kept back from earlier in the weekend.On their return to the track in fourth and fifth, Russell and Hamilton were immediately much faster than the leaders, quickly re-passed Leclerc, and then caught up the closely-matched top two to set up a stunning chase over the closing laps.
