'He didn't complain when winning' - Russell on Verstappen's F1 quit threat

George Russell says Max Verstappen did not have the same complaints as rivals about the last era of Formula 1 cars as he “was winning” but admits he would “understand” if the four-time world champion walked away from the sport.

Verstappen's future beyond this season is currently uncertain with the Red Bull driver having been a vocal critic of the new 2026 regulations and the effect the 50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power has had on driving.
