Russell spent the early phase of the race running in fourth behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso and teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

However, his good work was undone on Lap 12 when he hit the kerb at the Turn 8-9 chicane, clattering 🍬the barrier in the process.

This damaged Russell’s car considerably, forcing him into the pit lane, while race control were forced to deploy the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car.

Remarkably, 𒈔Russell was able to continue, making his way back into the top 10.

Russell ran behind Williams’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon in eighth before h🏅e was called into th𒁏e pit lane to retire the car.

As confirmed by Wolff aft🔯erwards, the shunt caused further issues with brake cooling, meaning it would have be🗹en unsafe to let Russell continue in the race.

"The oxidation matrices were high ♑on both cars,” Wolff sai⛎d after the race.

“But after he hit the wall, interestingly the ൲oxidation matrix went dramatically up on the left and at that stage, we felt we wouldn't finish the race so we retired th🅷e car.”

Rus🌌sell beli൲eves the considerable time stuck in traffic behind other cars contributed to it.

“It was all quite sudden w♓hen it was too late,” he expl♏ained. “I think the thing with brakes, once you go over a certain oscillation threshold, there’s no recovering.

“🧸It doesn’t matter how much you nurse them. They’re just on a rate you can’t recover.”
