  • George Russell menceritakan kisah di balik penampilan impresif sebagai pengganti Lewis Hamilton sejak FP1 GP Sakhir 2020.
  • George Russell mengaku berkali-kali salah menekan tombol pada FP1 hingga kualifikasi.
  • Pembalap asal Inggris tersebut juga mengaku seluruh tubuhnya sakit karena mobil Mercedes W1 terlalu sempit.

SKOR.id - George Russell tampil impresif usai ditunjuk sebagai pembalap pengganti Lewis Hamilton untuk Formula 1 (F1) GP Sakhir 2020, akhir pekan ini.

Pembalap Williams tersebut berhasil mengatasi debutnya bersama Mercedes W11 dengan menjadi tercepat pada latihan bebas pertama (FP1), Jumat (4/12/2020).

Sayangnya, George Russell gagal mengamankan pole position karena terpaut 0,026 detik dari "rekan setimnya" di Mercedes AMG Petronas, Valtteri Bottas.

George Russell akan memulai balapan dari urutan kedua GP Sakhir, sekaligus jadi prestasi terbaiknya sejak melakoni debut dalam Formula 1 (F1) 2019.

Namun, di balik catatan apik itu, George Russell mengaku banyak berkorban secara fisik dan melewati banyak kesalahan sejak latihan bebas. 

"FP1 adalah sebuah kekacauan," tutur pembalap 22 tahun itu tentang pengalamannya tampil di lintasan bersama Mercedes AMG Petronas.

Saya berkali-kali salah menekan tombol di sana sini. Bahkan saat kualifikasi pun saya menekan tombol netral, bukannya tombol lain."

Terbiasa mengemudikan mobil Williams, George Russell mengaku sempat gagap dengan teknologi yang terdapat di dalam mobil Mercedes.

Bahkan, menurutnya, satu seri tidak cukup untuk mengenal dan beradaptasi dengan Mercedes W11, mobil F1 tercepat musim ini. 

"Mercedes sebenarnya banyak melakukan modifikasi agar memudahkan saya. Tapi, tetap, (adaptasi) adalah pekerjaan yang berat."

Tidak hanya gagap teknologi, George Russell mengaku badannya sakit selama berada di balik kemudi mobil Lewis Hamilton tersebut.

Dengan tinggi badan 185 sentimeter atau 10 cm lebih tinggi dari Lewis Hamilton, George Russell merasa Mercedes W11 kekecilan.

Bahkan, dirinya harus memakai sepatu dengan ukuran lebih kecil dari yang seharusnya demi bisa menginjak pedal rem dan gas mobil.

"Kenyamanannya tidak sempurna. Saya merasa sangat kesakitan. Saya rasa, kali ini, akan jadi balapan yang melelahkan," katanya.

"Selama ini, saya selalu meletakkan es di bahu untuk mengurangi bengkak. Bahkan lutut dan tumit saya pun sakit (selama di Sakhir)."
