Russell ended 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Friday Practice fifth-fastest and 0.722s off the pace of Carlos Sainz’s benchmark time in FP2, while Mercedes ♐teammate Lewis Hamilton was seventh, a further tenth behind. 

Both Mercedes drivers were heard complaininꦬg about deployment issues on their cars during second practice. 

“Deployment is a🧸 bit all over the place at the moment𒈔,” reported Russell. 

Russell’s race engineer Riccardo Musconi responded by telling him it was a probleღm affecting both W13s. 

Mercedes have been🐻 struggling to match the top speed of rivals Ferrari and Red Bull so far this weekend around the power-hungry Monza🐈 circuit. 

“It was a blip during the session, which made things worse,” Russell explained. “But generally speaking, we’re lacking a bit of deployment.&n🐟bsp;

“I think we’re similar to Red Bull, but Fer♒rari seem to have the upper hand. So that may make things tricky in a race scenario as they have a bit more of a locker to play with. It’s going to be something we’ll have to deal with.” 

When asked if Mercedes could use Hamilton - who will 168澳洲𝓀幸运5官方开奖结果历史:drop towards the back of the gr🅠id after being hit with a penalty 🍬for using too many engine parts - to give Russell a tow, the young Briton downplayed the proꦜspect. 

“If you 🔯nail it, it definitely does work,” said Russell. “👍But it’s a high-risk, high-reward really. So it’s not something we’re putting a lot of emphasis into. 

“Qualifying sessions are the time where we learn quite a lot about th✅e car and the tyres, and that’s clearly been somewhere we’ve struggled this year. So for now we’ll both go in and do an ordinary session.” 

Seven-time world champion Hamilton said: "It’s George’s turn to choose whether to go first or second so most likely he’ll choose to go behind me, I’ll just do my normal 🌳programme and he’ll get a tow.”
