Russell’s Mercedes was left balancing on its side after hitting the barriers with force.
With his car in the middle of the track, the Silver Arrows star was desperate for proceedings to be halted so that he wouldn’t be hit.
Straight after coming to a stop, Russell worriedly bellowed down his team radio: “Red flag, red flag, I’m in the middle of the track, red flag, red flag. Red, red, red, red, red.
“I’m in the middle. Red. F***. Why so long?”
