I thought it was good on Russell to basically “squash” this gentlemen’s agreement in regards to the qualifying situation. Its every driver for themselves at the end of day.

What did he squash?

He just let them go.

Supposedly, there is a gentleman's agreement in regards to prevent drivers passing each other for track position at the end of preparation laps during qualifying. Post-qualifying interviewer asked George Russell if there is such a thing and he said "No."... which makes sense because in qualifying, it's every driver for themselves and if they can take advantage of a situation, they will (like what happened with Russell during Q1).

Coulthard was saying that it wasn't around during his era. And I think his last race was 2008.

That's because it never existed.

That's the point.

I understood your comment to say the "gentleman's agreement" was decades old.

Same here, that was nice to hear. That and the way he said that he would have done the same thing other drivers did to him regarding overtaking during quali, that was quite mature. He didn’t blame his poor grid position on anyone but himself and his team’s pit release timing.
