Still in the 2024 season, after the Qatar GP, the relationship between the Mercedes driver and Max Verstappen was tense.

We’ve seen this in Brazil with Ocon, in 2021 with Lewis [Hamilton], and then in Mexico with Lando [Norris].”
Therefore, over the weekend, when Russell threw his headrest far away after the problem with his W17 in Montreal, the Austrian team took the opportunity to throw a comment at the competitor.
