“her hair was loose in the first section of the race and it was annoying, I was in my peripheral vision. […] Then, when sweating, it dripped on my face. AND when I was braking, the beads of sweat reached the visor“, explained the British.
“So with the gray clouds and the water stains on the visor, I thought it was rain. It was a bit embarrassing“, he adds. However, Russell has also had time to clarify that I had it all under controlalthough the drops were on the inside of the visor and I couldn’t wipe them off.
