Madring gp

George Russell: Mercedes driver George Russell called the new Madrid street circuit to have "less margin for error" than even the tight streets of Monaco after the recent F2 car crash on Friday.

Russell had previously called the Circuito de Madring, the new F1 circuit, the "craziest circuit on the calendar" in the pre-weekend presser. Now he has reacted to the crash, calling the Madrid street track to have an even smaller margin for error than Monaco due to the speeds.

"I would put this as a circuit that has less margin than Monaco," Russell said, as quoted by the Independent. "Purely because of the speed. In Monaco, the walls are closer, but you’re going slower… if you make a mistake, you’re in the wall less quickly, and if you lock up, you can recover it.
