Russell vows he will 'never forget' Imola mistake

Williams driver George Russell said he will learn from the "stupid mistake" which cost him the chance to score his first Formula One point at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

F1 sophomore Russell has continually impressed for the series' backmarking team but has yet to break into the top 10 on a Sunday. It looked like he had a chance to do so at Imola when he found himself running 10th at the deployment of a Safety Car late on.

While weaving his car to generate heat in the tyres, he lost control and spun into the wall.
