Yeah, Russell seemed to bunch everyone up, then locked up at T1 and Ham was directly behind. Russell’s been a hinderance this weekend
Just saw the onboard.
Russell locked up in T1, but kept Hamilton behind him through the Eau Rouge. When Hamilton wanted to overtake him into Kemmel straight Russell blocked him...
EDIT :
This isn't impeding though. Russell is still on a lap despite his T1 mistake. Hamilton can overtake but Russell has no obligation to move out of the way. Impeding is when someone who is not on a fast lap gets in the way of someone who is on a fast lap. This is just poor spacing and a T1 mistake.
Russell slowed Lewis done all the way to Eau Rouge, and lost even more time by trying to block him into Kemmel straight.
He had no pace today, shouldn't block his teamate who could put the car on pole today.
