Press comments on the misfortune of F1
“Mercedes? Lots of embarrassing chickens”
Without world champion Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes team would get nothing in the Formula 1 race at Sakhir. However, this is not because he is replacing George Russell. Consequently, the press writes about “heartache” and “bitter disappointment.”
Britain
“The Telegraph”: “Sergio Pérez wins the exciting Sakhir Grand Prix while George Russell suffers anguish”.
“The Guardian”: “The cheers and heartbreak could not have been more blatant or captivating than the drama that unfolded at the Sakhir Grand Prix. Racing Point’s Sergio Pérez wept with joy as he achieved his first Formula 1 victory as George Russell left the momentum of his F1 career, only to then have the victory wrested from him through no fault of his own. He also admitted the tears were short, but his were clouded with bitter disappointment.
“Daily mail”: “Since Lewis Hamilton came to the world stage, no British driver has shown his talents in such an exciting way as the hapless George Russell.”
“Sun”: “The brilliant Brit put on a fantastic performance that shows he deserves to be Lewis Hamilton’s colleague at the Silver Arrows next season.”
Spain
“Brand”: “Checo Pérez makes history and wins in the chaos of Mercedes”
Austria
“Kronen Zeitung”: “Little luck in great misfortune: Formula 1 driver George Russell was saved from disqualification after Sunday’s tire error at the Sakhir GP.”
“Delivery courier”: “Just looking at the podium in the second consecutive Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain would have been amazing. After 87 laps there were: winner Sergio Pérez (Racing Point), Esteban Ocon (Renault), Lance Stroll (Racing Point). None a trace of Red Bull, and certainly none of world champion Mercedes. But the Silver Arrows took the victory. ”
Switzerland
“Look”: “Hard penalties for Mercedes and Leclerc”
“Tages-Anzeiger”: “World Champion Mercedes? Lots of embarrassing chickens”
