George Russell left to rue mistake that cost him “almost guaranteed” third in Monaco
Russell went long in🌞 the first stint of the race, maᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚking his only pit stop of the afternoon when the rain fell.
This allowed Russell to jump a number of his rivals, including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon and Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.
However, his good work was undone when he ran 𝕴wid💜e at Mirabeau.
Not only did he lose crucial time, when rejoining, he did so unsafely, picking up a five-second time penaℱlty in the process.
Speaking after the race, Russell told Sky: “P3 was definitely achievable today. I’ve only learnt my mistake wasn’t shown on TV – I was comfortably ahead of Lewis and Ocon bec🔥ause I hadn’t pitted on the slick.
"I went straight from the hard to the interme💮diate so came out in P5 behind the Ferraris who were on slicks so we were effectiꦓvely P3 on the road.”
Russell blamed not being “ful🧸ly focused” for his🐻 costly error.
“There were🙈 yellow flags so I backed off and when I touched the brake I just locked up and followed the yellow flag.
“That ✅was a lesson to me that some𝓰times when you’re not fully on it and fully focused that’s when mistakes happen.
"Really disappointed because if that mistake didn’t happen P3 was almost guaꦏranteed.”
