George Russell's crash on the final lap in Australia

George Russell experienced a massive crash on the final lap while trying to overtake Alonso. As he approached turns six and seven, he got very close behind the Aston Martin, lost downforce, and the wheels tipped the car on its side. Alonso was slower than Russell expected, causing Russell to brake suddenly, leading to oversteer and putting him wide. The tethers kept the wheels in place, but ultimately, they caused the car to flip. Despite the dramatic crash, the race was not red-flagged as it occurred on the final lap.
