But I do think he has a tendency to crumble under pressure.

My own view having watched the on board footage is that anyone else could have been caught out in exactly the same way in similar circumstances. Slowing down erratically in a very high speed corner on a street circuit with little run off is very dangerous and not cool.
For me Alonso is the one that comes out of this looking bad not Russell. Perhaps Alonso fans would disagree, but I don't see any complaints from Aston Martin.
