George Russell "keeps getting kicked" as F1 pundit addresses 2026 struggles

Former IndyCar Series driver and F1 TV pundit James Hinchcliffe believes George Russell had good reason to look "a bit defeated" after another difficult afternoon at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

While Mercedes ended the weekend on a high, securing the constructors' championship, Russell endured another frustrating race. The Briton missed out on pole position to McLaren's Lando Norris and ultimately finished the race in fourth, after recovering from a spin at the pit exit when he switched from intermediate to slick tyres.
