his F1 redemption victory in Singapore. Russell claimed victory on
the streets of Marina Bay in 2025, two years after painfully
crashing out of the race on the last lap when fighting over second
place with Lando Norris – costing himself a podium. After taking
fourth, more than a minute behind Norris in 2024, Russell dominated
last season, taking his second grand prix win of the season in
commanding fashion. Recalling his celebration, Russell revealed
how he mis-judged jumping off the platform the winner parks on in
parc ferme, and suffered hurt legs and ankles. “It was incredible.
I remember watching the pole lap back, and I was really curious to
see how close I’d get to that wall, where I crashed a few years
earlier,” Russell told F1. “I was really conscious of taking that
out of my mind, and I was millimetres away from the wall, so that
gave me a lot of pride knowing that it didn’t play on my mind too
much. “It felt so amazing – such a long race, being on the podium
with Max and Lando, just totally destroyed! “Something people might
not know from this photo is that in Singapore, you drive up onto a
little platform where the car goes. “From my previous wins and the
years gone by, when you jump off the car, you know how much you’re
falling. I jumped and went, ‘Oh, shit’. “The drop was bigger than I
thought, because I was dropping beyond the platform. I landed, hurt
my leg, hurt my ankle, but the adrenaline overcame me and carried
me through it!”
