"Red flag, red flag, red flag," Russell screamed. "I'm in the middle of the track. Red flag, red flag! Red, red🍃, red, red, red. I'm in the middl❀e. Red! F***ing hell.”

"I don't know if he has got a problem or꧂ not. We are off to see the 🦂stewards so that is a bit bizarre in a circumstance like this. I've got nothing more to say right now, I need to see everything, I am disappointed to end the race like that.”
