Record-breaker Raikkonen ruins Russell’s race

George Russell’s wait for his first

Formula 1 points continued at the Nurburgring after a clash with recordbreaker Kimi Raikkonen, who became the most experienced driver in F1 at the weekend, brought his race to an early end.

After Raikkonen’s slip at Turn 1 he clattered into Russell, popping the Williams car into the air and leaving it with damage on its left-hand side that brought Russell’s early bath.

“It was obviously frustrating,”said

Russell.“i left plenty of space but I think Kimi just locked up and then lost the rear. Sometimes it’s racing, we are all pushing hard. The way the race went, I think we could have scored points. It’s all gone against us at the moment unfortunately.”

Raikkonen served a 10-second penalty for the collision at his second pitstop, and finished his 323rd F1 race in 12th, two places behind team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi.
