Former F1 team manager Peter Windsor has labelled 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s Pirelli tyre complaints as “complete nonsense”

Following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Russell was vo൩cal in complaining about the inconsistent performance of the Pirelli tyres.

Russell fel﷽t Mercedes were nowhere on the medium tyre in the first half of the race before showing race-winning performance when he switched to the hard tyres.

After the race, Russell called for “serious conversationಌs” with Pirelli, describing the situatio﷽n as “not good enough”.

However, Windsor - who was previou🗹sly team manager for Williams and Ferrari - believes Russell’s theory doesn’t line-up given how consistent McLaren are.

Windsor said on The podcast: “I think it’s complete nonsense [tyre lotterꦰy], because if there was a big difference between one set of softs and another, or one set of mediums then another.

“It would be showing💞 up, up and down the pitlane. But it’s not showing up at McLare꧙n, I wonder why.

“Maybe it is to tiny degrees, but no more than you would have got from Bridgesဣtone 🔥or Michelin anyways.”

Russell was also criticised for his handling of a yellow flag incident in 💞Azerbaijan.

The🌠 Mercedes driver escaped a penalty fඣor driving too quickly under yellow flags in Q1.

Windsor thinks 🧔it was “dangerous” from Russell and he has nothing to pr🎃ove.

“It’s n﷽ot clever for George to say, oh well I’m going to go for it an🐼yway,” Windsor added.

“What’s clever ab🌌out that? It’s just dangerous actually, to b✨e honest.

“George does🌠n’t need to prove his virility or his bravery. We see that in the ra♌ce car anyway.”

Russell ultimately finished third in Baku after a collision between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz on the penultimate lap.
