George Russell details fate of engine after Silverstone retirement
“We’ve led the last four races since the upgradꦉes"

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes were able to save 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell’s engine despite ꦜhis retirement at Silverstone, he has revealed.
A suspected water system issue was cited as t🌳he cause for the early conclusion to Russell’s F1 British Gran𓃲d Prix last time out.
"I had alarms on my steering🌄 wheel for some sort of water cooling failure,” was his immediate reaction to Sky Sports.
Ahead🌳 of this weekend’s F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, where wuqian0821.com are in the paddock, Russell has detaile🔯d the fallout of the incident.
He confirmed his engine was not compromised, saying: “Fort൩unately the engine’s been saved andꩲ we’ll be using that.
“I think we’ll be ꦐusing the same engine this weeꦿkend to be honest. But yeah, it was just a water leak, the engine wasn’t getting enough water.
“The team recognised it from the second or third lap of the race that the temperatur𝓰es were just getting hotter and hotter and we were🍷 losing power.
“So yeah, it was a real shame, but as Lewis said, we’re in a great place right now and we’re going to be fighting again and I’m confident we’ll have꧟ the opportunity once more.”
Mercedes arrive in Hungary having won the past two F1 grands prix, through Russell in Austria then Lewis Hamilto🌃n a𒁏t Silverstone.
Over the past four rounds, Me🍎rcedes have scored the most p🍬oints of any team.
“It’s really exciting for all of us,” Russell said of their long-aw꧋aited turnaroun𝐆d.
“If you told us at the start of the year we’d be ♎♊going into Hungary fighting for three wins in a row, we wouldn’t have believed it.
“We’v♛e led the last four races since the upgrades, which is an incredible turnaround for us. Everybody’s super motivated.
“There’s no guarantees going into the next two race weekends. I think from these last four, we’ve had, without a doubt, the quickest car in qualifไying in two of them, and the quickest car in the race in two of them.
“But still, in Austria and Barce✃lona, we were a good 10 to 20 seconds behind Max and Lando, so we need to see where w✅e fall out this weekend. But, yeah, we’re super excited for what’s to come.”
'Max has still won two of those races...'
The previous dominance of Red Bull’s Max Verstappenꦰ has dimmed, although he retains a lengthy lead at the summit of the F1 championship.
But F1 is currently more𝓰 competitive than it has beꦜen since Verstappen’s dominance started.
Both Mercedes drivers, both Ferraris and McLaren’s Lando Norris have each won a grand prix this year🌺.
“Max is a long way out in front, and Lando’s in a pretty solid P2,” Russell sꦡaid about the competitive✱ championship.
“But I think the goal for us for the rest of the year 🥀is just to try and win as many more races as possi♐ble.
“Of course, we’ve closed this gap massively. We’ve had two real𝓰ly great races in the last four. But still, when you look at it, Max has still won two of those races, finished second in another, shoul🐓d have finished second in Austria.
“It’s not been a bad run of form for those guys either, so we’re no doubt closer than ever. We just needꦫ to see this race weekend, and in Spa, I think if we have twꦍo good race weekends here, we’ll be fast everywhere.”
Russell identified the keys to Mercedes’ rebirth: “We brought a reasonable sized upgrade to M꧒ontreal, but nowhere near the size that it translated ๊to in terms of lap time.
“And I♑ think the way the car is handling now, we both have much more confidence in the car, we can push it closer to its limit.
“Now the tyre🍷s are feeling better when we drive in the race, we can manage the tyres easier💞 on it.
“It just has a bit of a snowball effect in terms of its performance, so this small upgrade has turned into something quite🍎 large in terms of lap time, because we can exploit the car more and that’s the biggest thing, having that confidence beneath us.”
Heꦕ added: “The biggest takeaway is we stayed as one as a team. Everybody stuck together.
“There’s been no major changes within the organisation of Mercedes. You’ve got to give credit to Toto for believing in his people and just giving them a c🍬hance to do what they do best.
“I think that’s something that sets this team apart from many others. So far, it seems like we’ve done a really great job of that, so we’re just hoping to continue on th🅘is journey.”
