George Russell and Mercedes organized a media event at the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP, where he lashed out at Max Verstappen for his comments at the Qatar GP. Abu Dhabi 2021 was brought into the conversation, while the Mercedes driver also attacked Verstappen's driving style.

George Russell said this about Max Verstappen to the media, including Sportskeeda, at the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP:

“I admire his on-track battles, and when he’s hard and aggressive. But what we saw in the end of the season in ’21 or what we saw in Mexico with Lando [Norris], they weren’t hard, aggressive maneuvers. They were, ‘Do or die –I’m willing to take this guy out.’ Which I don’t think is the way we should go racing.”
