Russell finished seventh at Suzuka after attempting an ambitious on🎀e-sto𒀰p strategy. 

It was an eventful race for Russell, who went head-to-head against his teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

Russell was pushed off by Hamilton at Spoon Curve during the e🍌arly stages of the race, resulting in a fiery radio message: “Who do we want to fight here, each other or tജhe others?”

The drama didn’t stop there as Mercedes declined Russell’s sugges🃏tion to keep Hamilton behind him until the final lap to protect him from the fast-charging🏅 Carlos Sainz.

Despite being frustrated, Russell issuedℱ a calm response post-race to Sky♛.

“It ไwas definitely worth a punt,” he said. “The three-stop was closer, or faster, than the one-stop was. 

“But the one-stop gave us a chance to be in P3 ♊if there was a S🍸afety Car or a red flag. 

“Ultimately we did have a shot but the end r🎃esult was a f𓃲air representation.

“When you’re in the car, 48 laps in, giving it everything, trying to make a suboptimal strategy work, that radio is a tool to release frustration. Overtaking was difficult, you saw Piastri with much fresher tyres, he ♏didn’t fly by, it took him two laps and he only just achieved it. It’s easy in hindsight.”

Russell now eighth in the championship, moving behind McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris in the standings.

“My goal now is to achieve Pཧ2 for the team in the constructors’. On my personal side, the driver’s is out of the window, it’s been a disaster of a season. So many missed chances,” he added.
