Russell qualified second, behind Norris, in sprint qualifying at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix on Friday.

That is despite "confusing" his Mercedes and losing time at a crucial time, whi൩ch he regretted.

The in-form Mercedes driver 💖has vowed to fight his McLaren counterpart for victory in Saturday’s sprint.

“Yeah definitely,” he insisted. “Th𒀰ey’re in a championship fight, we’ve got nothing to lose.

“We’re going for the big result💜s. We’ll try and make a good start.

“Of course the sprint🌠 is just a sprint, we need to put our focus on qualifying as well. So far, so good.”

The sprint race on Saওturday comes before qualifying for the grand prix. The long race 🐽is on Sunday.

Russell is fresh off victo🌌ry at last weekend’🍎s F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and wants more at the penultimate round of the season.

He said abou🌼t his W15 on Friday: “Felt ⛎really strong all session, the car was really great and this circuit is really one of the best.

“When you get in the groove ꦕand that rhythm, it’s so fast.

꧃“I went flat through the high-speed for the first time on my final lap in Q3 and confused the engine a little bit.

“I don’t know how much I lost, but I had a big recharge on the exit of th༺e corner because I went through itᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ flat.

“But that was a bit annoying whe🗹n I nailed it, and then lost a bit of spe🍃ed on the exit.

“But I think Lando was🅷 just a smidge out of reach.”

Norris’ d🍌rivers’ title hopes ended in Las Vegas w♛hen Verstappen did enough to wrap up his fourth title in a row.

But McLaren still lead the constr🧸uctors’ championship, with Ferrari and Red Bull breathing down their necks.

For Russell, after victory ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton in Vegas, he is aiming to establish himsel🍬f as Mercedes’ top man ahead of 2025.

When Hamiltoꦏn goes to Ferrari next year, Russ♚ell will be the senior driver alongside Kimi Antonelli.
