The Mercedes driver picked up a five-second time penalty for skipping the Rettifilo chicane and staying ahead of Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon during a tussle in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.

Despite the penalty, Russell finᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚished fifth, one place ahead of teammate Le✨wis Hamilton, who was also hit with a time penalty for causing a collision with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. 

"I knew that there had to be a maximised ♓out-lap, and I came out of the pits right behind or next to Ocon," Russell explained. 

"I knew if I fell behind him, my chance to undercut the guys ahead would disappear. I went in very hot into Turn 1, knowing there was a b🎉it of a risk to miss the corner, and that's what happened.

"In Monza, it's a bit of a shame, because it's always a bit of a 'get out of jail free' card with the run-off there. And that gives drivers, especially when you're fighting🎀, the chance to miss the corner. 

“So I'd probably like to see a bit of a chang🍨e i🍷n that corner in the future.”

Russell said he was willing to ri♔sk the potential penalty because he knew it was unli😼kely to impact his race. 

"I knew🎐 that P5 was probably the worst that we could have achieved, considering the gap to the guy in P6.

"So it would have only compromised me if it was a safety car right at th෴e end [and the field bunched up]."
