George Russell says “that’s the beast we’re dealing with” amid Mercedes headache
"We’re a♔ll on this emotional rollercoaster," George Russell says

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes reacted with frustration at their weekend𝓀 to forget in Texas.
Russell crashed in qualifying for the F1 United States Grand Prix, wrecking the upgra🐓ded parts on his W15.
Mercedes🐻 had no spares, so he reverted to a prior spec and started from the pitlane. Ru😼ssell rescued a P6 finish.
But 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton,♌ who qualified 19th, spun out of the grand prix on Lap 3.
“Definitely plea🎐sed with [Sunday], no doubt,” Russell said.
“Starting from the pitlane, not really sur൩e what we were going to🧜 have during the race, and especially going back to a floor that we ran in Canada 10 races ago, more I guess.
“To end up P6 ahead of a Red Bull as well, that was really 🐠great. Obviously you always question what could haveಌ been, but we’re dealing with a difficult car at the moment.
“🍨Lewis never really mꦍakes any mistakes and you saw [on Sunday] he had the exact same thing as what happened to me [a day earlier]. That’s the beast we’re dealing with right now.
“I’m looking forward to things being a little bit calmer or consistent because you just don’t know what you’re going to get every time you go out. We’re all on this emotional♚ rollercoaster.
“Clearly the car haꦚs the potential to be fighting right at the front, but when we are𝔍 in that position we don’t really know why we are.
“When we’re not, we also don’t rܫeally know why we’re 🍌not. It’s just a real challenge to unpick it and understand it.”
Andrew Shovlin, Merc🔯edes’ Trackside Engineering Director, said: "Given that we had one car starting at the back and one in the pit lane, we had realistic💛 expectations as to what could be achieved.
“Lewis made a good start a𝔍nd was quickly up to P12. Unfortunately, that didn't last long as he lost the rear in turn 19. We're still investigating what caused that, but in any case, his race was over.
"Geo🗹rge was making steady progress through the field in his first stint, but it still took him until the halfway point to get any clear air to judge pace.
“Encouragingly, the car was hanging on to its tyres well and that was allowing us to extend. P6 was the best he could have achieved, and he drove a good race tꦰo get there.
"As a team we have underachieved across the weekend and are under no illusi♊ons that we need to do better.
“The update kit has shown some promise, but we've not had a single clean session, 🃏and we'll leave here not knowing what we could have done ꦕif we'd started near the front with a car in our latest aero specification.
“We will look to answer that 🍨question next weekend in Mex🍸ico."
Team principal Toto Wolff added: "It has been a to🍃ugh weekend overall here in Austin.
“We see that there is pace in the car, as was shown on Friday and with George🧸 in the race, but we are still dealing with its inconsistency.
“That is not something unique to us though. Different teams have come into anꦑd out of form throughout the season, but it is something we will be working hard to improve over the final five races of the season.
"The positive was that 𒊎George was quick throughout and produced a good fightback from his pit lane start. The team in the garage worked hard to get the car rℱeady for the race, with a large workload to get through as we had to revert on specification.
“George drove a strong race 🐓and was particularly quick onᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the Hard compound. That enabled us to extend his first stint and ultimately claim P6 in the final few laps.
“Unfort꧟unately, it was a disappointing day for Lewis. He wasn’t pushing at all but a gust of wind, combined with the dirty air from the car ahead, and he lost the car.
“We need to look at that, and what happened with George [♈on Saturday], to understand why the car reacted like that.
“Lewis Hamilton is not a driver that loses a car like that on lap two🍌 of a race, so there is something there that we need to un💙derstand."
