168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell feared he had a puncture on the final lap of the F1 Saudi ♍Arabian Grand Prix but it turned out to be a false alar🦂m.

The Mercedes driver finished sixth in Jeddah, three places ahead of teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton, but reported he had a “front right puncture” on the last lap of the grand prix༺.

Mercedes’ d🐈ata showed no sign of any problem with the tyre and Russell was able to take the chequered flag without drama.

“He came on the radio, as you’ll have heard and said, ‘front right puncture’. So he was concernဣed that he did,” Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said.

“Now, what he was feeling was a vibration that suddenly appeared. He was concerned that it was the tyre that was losing a𒁏ir about to fail. But we can just look at our data and we can see that the tyre was fine in that sense.

“We can see the pressure on all four tyres live. So we would spot a puncture normally before even the driver s𒀰ees it. Certainly, if it was a relatively slow puncture we'd say it before the dri♛ver.

“So we reassured him that that was fine. He said he could still feel a vibration. We checked t꧋he level of the vibration was nothing to concern us, we could see something, but it wasn't out of the ordinary.

“We were able to check that the brakes are all fine, which is ob🦩viously one of the key things. So we went back again and said, well, car looks fine for us.

“We told him the gap to the car behind just so that he knows he doesn't need to push. There's no one within four seconds, and he can actually take it e🐭asy for🐭 the remainder of the lap.”

Shovlin said Mercedes will have to wait for Pirelli toꦯ carry out their own investigation to discover whether there was any damage to Russell’s tyre.

“When we got the car back, checked everything. That all looks fine,” he added. “Now the tyre, we can't check because that belongs to Pirelli. So they've taken that off for analysis. But as I said, eve﷽rything we can see, it looks okay.

“There was vibration da﷽ta, but that can be as little as you just get some of the rubber pick up can get stuck on 🙈a tyre, can actually put it quite out of balance.

“So we'll 🐠let Pirelli do their investigations. But certainly from our side from the point of view of the car, there's nothing that we can see that's a problem.”
