168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in SQ3 after missinไg out on the top-10 by just 0.038s, leaving him only 11th onཧ the grid.

Russell had a scrappy first lap as he struggled to generate temperature into his medium tyres before a🤪 late rain shower scuppered his hopes of improving.

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

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

“It was꧋ close. Just one more tenth and you are four or five positions higher.

“Obviously, a shame to be on the bottom end of that. We have got a chance to recover in the sprint race.🎶”

With Hamilton going on to claim a spot on the front row alongside McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, Russell was left to rue hi💟s absence from a wild SQ3.

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

“Challenging conditions, the rainfall now… who knows🤪 what could hav꧑e happened in Q3?

“In the sprint race, we can recover some positions. Then we’ve got anot⭕her chance in qualifying.”

Russell added: “The grip is 💛really low here compared to what we expected, for everybo🌺dy.

“The lap time is 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 qualifꦉying on the medium tyre. It is challenging to judge.

"We have a chance tomorrow to make tweaks 🎀overnight.”
