168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has reacted to fears about Mercedes’ cost ca🦩p after a series of crashes.

Russell lost control of his W15 in practice for the F1 Mexꦰico City Grand Prix, days after crashing in Tex𒐪as too.

Lewiওs Hamilton also span out of last weekend’s race 💟in America.

“We’ve had a few big, big shunts over the past few races,” Mercedes b♏oss Wolff told Sky Sports in Mexico.

“The chassis was damaged. We can repair i𒀰t but it wo♕n’t run here.

“The mood is up and down.”

He added: “Two big shunts, the chassis needs to be repaired♏ for Brazil.

“It’s rough…”

Russell has little option b🎉ut to run an older spec of the floor on his W15 after damaging the upgraded version.

But he insisted that the damage caused to M🌃ercedes’ parts won’t force them outside of the $135m budget cap.

“No, no concerns budget-cap because we've always got a bit of margin and♔ you're always weighing up what you put into this season versus what you put into next season,” he said.

“Now, potentially, we may have to compromise the rest of this season, which, to be honest, I'd probably be in favour for because we're 𓄧not fighting fo🧜r a championship.

𓂃“I'd be more than happy staying on the old floor if that gives us a better chance into next year.

“Bꩵut, you know, I think we'll be able to repair the floor from Austin. I think that's the pಌlan.

“It wasn't as bad as we initially expec𓃲ted, and that should be out in Brazil.”

Russell🦩 will start the Mexico City Grand Prix from fifth🍨 on the grid, Hamilton is sixth.

Wolff said about their W15’s issues: “The car has a ver🌄y narrꦬow band of where it functions well.

“When it was cold on a high🐽-speed track, we were the quickest. Cold is good for us.

“When you hit it righ𝕴t, we can be quick on a single lap.

“The over🐠heating of the tyres make🐎s everything exponentially worse.”
