   'However Russell was reluctant to blame Pirelli, acknowledging how   
   difficult it is for the tyre supplier to tick all the boxes.   
      
   “I think Pirelli get a hard time no matter what,” he said. “If there’s   
   lots of tyre degradation people say it’s not real, the drivers can’t   
   push, we have to manage, we don’t like that. Then when there’s no tyre   
   degradation, we say it’s a boring race. They don’t seem to be able to   
   win in any case.   
      
   “So realistically, you want a tyre that you can push full gas, but it   
   doesn’t go the whole race. If you could choose for the tyre, it’s a   
   tyre, you go flat out, but after 15 laps, it falls off a cliff, and you   
   have to do a two or three-stop race.   
      
   “And ideally, the soft tyre there’s 12 laps, the medium tyre does 15   
   laps, and the hard tyre does 20 laps, and then it falls off the cliff.   
   But that is a lot easier said than done. As I said, Pirelli get a very   
   hard time. They do their best. They have given us a substantially better   
   tyre. This tyre is very good, but it causes bad racing.”   
      
   He added: “All of the races recently been one stops, and even from the   
   sprint race yesterday, the Ferrari couldn’t overtake Carlos. Years ago,   
   that would not have been the case. I don’t really know, but I think it’s   
   just lack of tyre deg.” '
