After claiming eight constructors’ championships and seven drivers’ titles since the start of 2014, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes are yet ♏to win a race amid what has been an incredibly difficult 2022 F1 season. 

Mercedes have not gone a full seasoꦛn without claiming at least one grand prix victory since 2011, but there are just seven opportunities left to avoid a repeat this year. 

Mercedes were in the hunt for victory last weekend at Zandvoort until a late Safety Car played into the hands of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, but the team is not expecting to be challenging for the win at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Italian Grand Prix. 

Asked where he thinks Mercedes’ best chance of victory could come before the e🐻nd of the campaign, Russell replied: “I’m not too sure. There’s no standout I would say that really springs to mind. 

“Singapore could be interesting, but has been a circuit historically where Mercedes have🏅 struggled a little bit. We know that at street circuits this year we haven’t fared so welꦫl. 

“I think as team we are making a huge amoun𒆙t of progress and we are understanding the ca꧂r more and more. Hopefully as we develop the car further we can take some further gains. 

“I would probably 😼say, maybe Austin. Austin could be a circuit that suits us bu꧃t I truly don’t know.”

Russell moved up to fourth in the championship after finishing second at the Dutch Grand Prix, marking his best res꧋ult of the season so far. 

While Verstappen is running away with the title, Russell sits just 13 points behind second-placed Charles Leꦑclerc and could yet leapfrog the Ferrari d🍸river to end the year as high as second in the drivers’ standings. 

But Russell said he has little interest in potentially claiming runner-up spot in the championship, as he is solely🥂 focused on winning races. 

“It doesn’t mean a huge amount, to be honest,” he added. "W♌e’re here to win. Nobody remembers who finishes second in the championship. 

“If you give me a choice between winning a co💜uple of races this year and finishing outs🍸ide the top three, or winning no races and finishing second, I would choice the race win. 

“We’ll definitely in it for the team. We’re going to try and beat Ferrari in the championship. But for me, I’m here to win and unfortunately that’s a bit o🦹ut of reach, in terms of the championship.”
