George Russell revealed that he was battling a “horrendous stomach cramp” during the final 15 laps of the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Russell se💝cured his fourth podium of the 2025 F1 season, finishing a distant third behind ✨the McLaren duo.

Up until the grand prix, Russell had had a difficult weekend as he struggled to match the pace of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Antonelli.

Starting on the hard tyre, Russell capitalised on the Virtual Safety Car period caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ollie Bearman’s stricken Haas.

Once he made his pit stop under the Virtual Safety Car, Russell rejoined in third, ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Despite struggling with his tyres in the closing laps, Russell scored another✨ podium.

Aꦇfter the race, Russell revealed that he had to nurse a stomach issue in the closing laps.

“The last 15 laps I got this horrendous🃏 stomach cramp and I’m struggling a lot now,” Russell explained.

“I can’t🦄 stand straight, my stomach’s rꦑeally causing me grief.

“I need to understa༺nd what went wrong there. I had a slightly bigger breakfast than normal so that might be the reason.”

Russell “really proud” of Miami recovery

Russell was pleased with 🃏theও progress he made in the race after a tricky weekend.

The Mercedes driver credited the “bold” decision to s🎐tart on the hard tyre, which the top teams often decide against.

“I thought there was an o✱pportunity because we were going to be bold with the strategy,” he added. “It’s not often yo🎃u see a driver in the top five start on a hard tyre.

“Obviously, we were slightlyಞ fortuitous with the S🍬afety Car, but that’s how the game plays out, and that’s the risk you take. 

“Nevertheless when Kimi pitted, when Max pitted, I found three or ꩵfour tenths of pace and I was in a really great place.

“I’m really proud of the result because this 𒐪weekend I’ve been in a bad place, I’ve not been happy, I have not been enjoying driving this weekend, but we made it count when it mattered.”
