168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell was frustrated to miss out on the chance to reach the final part of qualifying for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint race.

The Mercedes driver failed to join teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton in SQ3 afte🔯r missing out on the top-10 by just 0.038s, leaving him only 11th on the grid.

Russell had a scrappy ꩵfirst lap as he struggled to generate temperature into his medium tyres before a late rain shower scuppered his hopes of improvin🧜g.

“It wasn’t easy, at all,” Russell told Sky Sports F1. “That lap in Q2, we tried sending it as early as we couℱld.

“We g🎉ot stuck behind 12 cars ahead of us, just sat in the pitlane. So we lost tyre temperature.

“It was clo🥂se. Just one more tenth and you are four or five positions higher.

“Obviously, a shওame to be on the bottom end of that. We have got a chance to recover in t🐬he sprint race.”

With Hamilton going on to claim a spot on the front row alongside McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris, Russell was left to rue his absence from 🧸a wild SQ3.

“I was a little frustrated after the first lap. It was so close to getting into [S]Q3,♍” he explained.

“Challenging conditions, the rainf💧all now… who knows what cꦬould have happened in Q3?

“In the sprint race, we can recover some positions. Then w💖e’ve got another chance in qualifying.”

Russell added: “The grip is really low here compared to what we exꦯpected, for everybꦰody.

“The lap time isꩵ three or four seconds lower than anticipated. There are no junior series here like F2 or F3 to help rubber the track in. Everyone is slipping and sliding around.

“We’ve only done practice on the hard tyre, only two laps in qualifying on the medium tyre. It is challenging 🎀to judge.

"We have a chance tomorrow to make tweaks overnigh♊t.”
