Via radio he constantly complained about the dangerousness of the situation, but the team convinced him to continue. Numerous sets have been changed, but Russell at one point wanted to retire. His engineer disagreed and so the British driver saw the arrival not without having experienced some thrills. When he got out of the car, he clearly stated that this cannot go on.

Robert Kubica also complained. The Pole had already expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment he had received, as well as for the disastrous situation in which Williams fell, an F1 team that often found itself without spare parts. At Suzuka there was then the "yellow" of the new front wing, brought by the team in a single copy. Russell had rejected it at the end of the first free round, Kubica had instead found good during the second free round, had found improvements in his car, and was therefore convinced to find himself in qualifying. But this did not happen. Unbeknownst to him, his previous wing was mounted.

According to what Kubica told to it.motorsport, the order would not come from those who were on the track, but from those who were elsewhere. It is therefore legitimate to think of Claire Williams, the already discussed team principal of the Grove team who, again according to the impressions of the Polish driver, has not always acted with due correctness and this year as never before has been confused in the management of the team. It should not be forgotten that twelve months ago, the Russian sponsor SMP left Williams indignant for the improper treatment offered to their pilot Sergey Sirotkin.
