‘I’m beyond frustration’ – Russell baffled after penalties cost him Monaco podium

Hey George, I felt for you because it felt like Groundhog Day, like nothing was going right for you today. It felt like penalty after penalty. What's the kind of overriding emotion after such a difficult day? I'm flat. I'm like beyond frustration. I'm in like a state of struggling to comprehend what is going on. The team told me there's nothing I did wrong in the pit lane. I pressed the limiter before the entry. I released it after the exit, but there was a software issue. Five second penalty, not ideal. Not the end of the world. But then with the pit stop, couldn't serve it. Drive-through penalty. Punishment doesn't fit the crime and I went from P3 to zero points. So when you look at the weekend as a whole, you could have fought back up to P3, I think, which would have been a great result. You are showing the signs of if it goes right, it could be okay. Can you take that as something of a positive or is the frustration just building? I know things to go smoothly. I'm fine. We've won two of the three sprint races. We won in Melbourne. I was leading in Canada. Car broke down. I was leading in Japan. Poor safety car timing. Could have been on the podium here today. I know it's all possible and I haven't lost any faith in myself. Yesterday, yes, was a really bad day for me, but I still could have been on the podium today. But all of these other factors, I wish I could take some blame for what... I'd probably sleep better knowing the failure in Canada was because I hit a curve wrong and the pit limiter today I came in too fast. But when it's just totally out of your control, it's a tough one.
