In the aftermath of his late-race crash during the Singapore Grand Prix, George Russell was on the verge of tears, but his countryman Lando Norris didn’t seem overly sympathetic.

George Russell’s late crash during the Singapore Grand Prix, according to Lando Norris’s joke, “copied” him.

The Mercedes driver appeared to be headed for a podium finish on Sunday at Marina Bay.
He ended his race, though, just before the finish line when he struck the outside wall on the way to turn 10 and veered into the barrier.

Despite teasing his countryman, Norris, who was competing with Russell for second place, said he was sympathetic when he gave his assessment of the crash following the game.
The McLaren star told reporters, “I hit the wall in the same place, I did the same.”.
“So I believe he mimicked me and did it worse!

“So I feel for him.
He ran a hard race.
I’d say he was the fastest today. I was able to relax in the final few corners, which was helpful.
