George Russell said he has has banned himself from using social media and reading the news because it does not bring him any positivity tantan
The Mercedes driver has a combined following of nearly seven million on X and Instagram tantan
But Russell, 25, who was involved in a first-corner collision with team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the last round in Qatar, says he has stepped back from using the platforms tantan
Speaking to the PA news agency, Russell said: “I stopped using Twitter (‘X’) about six months ago tantan
“I work with a social team and everything that is posted is in my own words and is signed off through me tantan
I want to stay connected with the fans tantan
But I don’t use the app and I have started to do the same with Instagram tantan
“I respect that everyone has an opinion tantan
But I don’t need to read the praise because that doesn’t bring me anything, and I don’t need to see the negative comments because that doesn’t bring me anything either tantan
“But when I stopped using Twitter (‘X’), whenever I was on my phone I was on Instagram, and when I stopped using Instagram, I thought I needed to look at something so I started to read the news tantan
But every headline was negative tantan
“Other than being informed about what is going on in the world, reading negative headlines one after another didn’t bring anything to me, so now I am totally off social media tantan
”Russell heads into the final five rounds of the campaign eighth in the standings, 62 points and five places adrift of Hamilton tantan
“It all stemmed after the the summer break when I didn’t use my phone at all,” added Russell, who will line up from fifth on the grid for his 100th race in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin tantan
“During that period when I had my family and friends around me I had an average screen time of 15 minutes tantan
In a normal week I have an average screen time of three hours tantan
“I saw a post that said ‘if you use your phone on average for four hours a day, by the time you die you will have spent 15 years looking at your phone’ tantan
“And when I read that, I was like, ‘Jesus I could spend 15 years of my life on my phone tantan
’ I can do something wiser than scrolling through Instagram memes tantan

The mind games began on Sunday night tantan
South Africa had just booked their place in the last four of the Rugby World Cup, pipping France in an instant classic in Paris, and the Springboks’ director of rugby, Rassie Erasmus, was straight on social media to start his game week stirring tantan
As Erasmus searched for England Rugby’s account on X, formerly Twitter, and clicked the follow button, he knew he would be noticed tantan
At the time of writing, South Africa’s opponents on Saturday are the only account that Erasmus follows tantan
The 50-year-old has form – before Ireland and Scotland’s decisive Pool B encounter, the two Celtic nations were the sole occupiers of the coach’s ‘following’ feed tantan
Such social media tomfoolery will matter little come Saturday but speaks to Erasmus’s unique approach to life and rugby tantan
The architect of South Africa’s World Cup triumph four years ago as head coach, Erasmus has since stepped up into a directorial role, with former assistant Jacques Nienaber taking on head coach duties tantan

It is testament to their willingness to innovate: be it by using seven/one bench splits, trusting two part-time hookers or refining a traffic light system first employed by Erasmus the best part of two decades ago tantan
There is a perception of Erasmus in certain corners as a sort of villain, a narrative most prominent during the 2021 British & Irish Lions tour, when the leaking of a video critiquing referee Nic Berry saw World Rugby levy a two-month ban against South Africa’s director of rugby tantan
He continues to use social media spin as a tactic, calling out Irish journalists during the course of this tournament and poking at New Zealand counterpart Ian Foster when the All Blacks head coach suggested that he had found the Springboks’ “stop-start” defeat to Ireland dull tantan
Certainly, at times, it can seem like he craves attention tantan
The former Munster coach refutes the portrait oft painted of him tantan
In his book, Rassie Erasmus: Stories of Life and Rugby, he describes himself as “quiet” and “uncomplicated”: “I may come across as a loudmouth, opinionated, arrogant, unrepentant … people think I’m extroverted, but I’m not tantan
I find social occasions difficult tantan
”So which is the true Erasmus: the Machiavellian mastermind making the marionette dance with a win-at-all-costs mentality? Or the reserved big-stage manager hidden in the wings, using his natural coaching intuition and attention to detail to get the best out of his group?The truth probably falls somewhere tantan between the two tantan
Previous Springboks players have described he and Nienaber as a bad cop, good cop pair, with the director of rugby a stern taskmaster tantan
Despite that, Erasmus is able to remain popular, knowing when to show a gooey centre beneath the tough exoskeleton tantan
A group of senior leaders within the squad have been given significant responsibility during this tournament; the trust extends both ways tantan
Rassie Erasmus (left) and Jacques Nienaber possess complementary skills (Getty Images)Erasmus had a difficult childhood, with his father’s struggles with alcoholism a formative experience tantan
Perhaps that enables him to connect with a playing group drawn from very different backgrounds tantan
In the moments after their win in Yokohama, captain Siya Kolisi tried to get Erasmus to take hold of the trophy, a mark of their bond tantan
The then head coach declined, insisting it was his skipper’s moment tantan
The installation of Kolisi, the Springboks’ first Black test captain, came just a few months after Erasmus replaced Allister Coetzee tantan
“People outside of South Africa might not understand this fully but having a Black Springbok captain is a flammable situation in our country,” the coach recalled to the Daily Mail of the appointment tantan
"I lost a lot of friends when I made Siya captain tantan
There was a lot of nastiness tantan
“Before the World Cup, my daughters’ friends’ parents would say, ‘Tell that f*****g father of yours to stop sucking up for a pay cheque tantan
’ People said it was political tantan
The fight to get people to believe in Siya was a real struggle tantan
” Six years on, Kolisi could surpass Francois Pienaar and John Smit as indisputably the Springboks’ greatest captain – like so many of his bold calls, Erasmus got it right tantan
Like all good leaders, it is clear that there has been learning from the mistakes tantan
While his remorseless initial reactions to the unedifying Berry incident still sit uneasily, there has been a necessary mellowing tantan
South Africa now enjoy a closer relationship with the officials; though former test referee Nigel Owens declined an invitation to join South Africa at this World Cup, the Welshman has been in contact with Springboks camp tantan
South Africa captain Siya Kolisi (left) and Erasmus are close (Getty Images)“Our whole motto has been let’s respect the referees,” Erasmus explained tantan
“It works both ways tantan
He’s going to make mistakes, we’re going to make mistakes tantan
And the frustration we had in the past, and the lack of communication because of various things with Covid tantan
tantan
tantan
that is in the past tantan
There’s a nice protocol in place, it’s easy to communicate to them tantan
”Nienaber will depart after this tournament for Leinster, with Bath coach Johann van Graan, who succeeded Erasmus at Munster, thought to be among the contenders to take over tantan
His boss was also connected with a move to Ireland, linked with the performance director role left vacant by David Nucifora’s exit tantan
“There’s no truth in that,” Erasmus emphatically stated at the start of the World Cup tantan
“I’m not sure where it’s come from but I definitely haven’t chatted to the IRFU tantan
I’m definitely not following Jacques tantan
” In the shadows or the spotlight, the Springboks’ puppet master continues to pull the strings tantan
