Valtteri Bottas wasn't in a hurry to answer George Russell's calls following their crash at Imola 2021...
Williams' George Russell confronts Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton following their collision at the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
With Bottas off the pace that weekend, Russell had been lining up the Finn for an overtake when he touched the wet grass alongside the track and speared into the side of Bottas – both were out on the spot in what was a hugely dramatic collision.The crash saw Russell react with fury, clambering out of his destroyed car to approach Bottas and ‘slap’ the Finn’s helmet – earning himself a middle-finger response from Bottas in return.
“We’ve always said it is going to cause a massive collision one day and here we are. We’re both grown men. We’ll have a conversation and let the heat down a little bit. I’m sure he is as upset and frustrated with me as I am with him. Asked whether it’s because he and Bottas don’t speak at all, Russell denied it – saying he and the Alfa Romeo driver have regular chats, but just have never broached those awkward topics.
