## Key points

- He says only six of 20 races were trouble-free.
- Mexico City setbacks dropped him to fourth in the standings.

## Summary

George Russell says he will examine his own performance after a difficult 2026 season, despite believing repeated technical problems have cost him results. His comments come after team-mate Kimi Antonelli secured the championship, while Russell’s form and recent setbacks have left him fourth in the standings.

Russell has won three races, compared with Antonelli’s nine, and says Mercedes found he had a trouble-free weekend in only six of 20 races. At the Mexico City Grand Prix, a power-unit problem at the start was followed by a collision and a 10-second penalty; he finished sixth and fell behind Antonelli, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. Russell said he skipped post-race media duties because he was upset about losing the chance of a strong result.
