168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has admitted his spin at the penultimate corner i🙈n qualifying for the United States Grand Prix ‘caught ꦚhim by surprise’.

Russe🧸ll crashed in the dying moments of Q3 at the Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, bringing a premature end to qualifying in Austin.

It meant no one could improve due to the yellow flags caused by Rusไsell’s stricken Mercedes.

This left Russell a disappointing sixth on the grid, 0.6s off 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

It continued Mercedes’ disappointing day, with a lack of pace in the sprint, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton getting knocked out in Q1.

Speaking after qualifying to Sk𒁃y Sports, Russell said of his crash: “Not too sure to be honest. It was a really great lap until Turn 12.

“I was up four and a half tenths and lost a bit at T12, similar to Lewis yesterday, and lost loads of lap time. I still was a tenth or so quicker than my previous lap but I went into the penultimatꦉe corner, turned i☂n and then the thing just went on me.

“It caught me by surprise. Maybe I was overpushing. Just pretty disappointing. The damage done to the car an𒊎d the work that has to be done tonight.

“A little bit confused why yesterday Lewis and I were both in the fight for pole, 🦄and 𓄧today, we were nowhere.”

Mercedes showed great pace on Friday, with Russell narrowly missing out on pole in sprint🐎 qualifyin🍰g.

24 hours later, Mercedes are clearly the fourth-fastest te🦄am in Austin.

“The car didn’t feel as together but the pace was coming easily,” he added. “Today it wasn’t. This morning, also this afterno🧸on. It just seems l𝓰ike such a theme at the moment.

“When we’ve found a 🐬sweet spot we’ve got a car capable of pole and race wins, but when we’ve not got that sweet spot we’re nowhere. Apologies to th💛e team.

“They’ve done so mu꧟ch hard work bringing these upgrades. It’s really disappointing from my side.”
