Russell qualified second, behind Norris, in sprint qualifying at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix on Friday.

That is despite "confusi♛ng" his Mercedes and losing time at a crucial time, which he regretted.

The in-form Mercedes dr♒iver has vowed to fight his McLaren counterpart for victory in Saturday’s sprint.

“Yeah definitely,” he insisted. “They’re in a ch♏ampionship fight, we’ve got noth🍃ing to lose.

“We’re going for the b⛦ig results. We’ll try and make a good 🌟start.

“Of course the sprint is just a sprint, we n♍eed to put our focus on qualifying as well. So far, so good.”

Th﷽e sprint🃏 race on Saturday comes before qualifying for the grand prix. The long race is on Sunday.

Russell is fresh off victory at la🏅st weekend’s F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and wants mor🦩e at the penultimate round of the season.

He said about his W15 on Friday: “Felt really strong all session, the ca🤪r was really great and this circuit is really one of the best.

“When you🌞 get in the groove and that rhythm, it’s so fast.

“I went flat through the high-speed for the first ꦏtime on my final lap in Q3 andဣ confused the engine a little bit.

“I don’t kꦏnow how much I lost, but I had a big recharge on the exit of the corner because 🐟I went through it flat.

“But that was a bit annoying when I nailed it, and then lost a ꦑbit of speed on the exit.

“But I think Lando was just a smidge out of reᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚach.”

Norris’ drivers’ title hopes ended in Las Vegas when Verstappen did enough to wrap up his ♏fourth title in a row.

But McLaren still ౠlead꧟ the constructors’ championship, with Ferrari and Red Bull breathing down their necks.

For Russell, a♒fter victory ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton in Vegas, he is aiming to establish himself as Mercedes’ top man ahead of 2025.

When Hamilton goes to Ferrari next year, Russell will be the senior driver alongside Kimi Anto✨nelli🌃.
