168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has explained the bizarre electrical problems which hampered his F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.

The M🦋ercedes driver was impressively able to finish second in Bahrain despite battling several odd problems caused by techn🦋ical issues inside the cockpit of his W16.

Rus💜sell escaಞped punishment after an investigation for a possible DRS infringement - caused by one of the many systems malfunctions he suffered.

“It was a really challenging race. We had all sorts of problems in the last 12 ♔laps,” Russell told Sky Sports F1.

“We had a brake-by-wire failure, so when I was hitting the brakes it was going all the way to th⛄e floor! I had to do some re-sets, then it came back to me. Then it failed.

“For 10 laps in a row, going into every corner, I didn’t know if my brake wa🧸s solid or going to the floor.

“It really compromised my race. Coming hom✅e P2 w🧸as mega.”

A transponder gremlin led to Russell repeat𒊎edly vanishing from the timing screens, though he stresওsed that did not result in any performance deficits.

“Every time I looked at my mirrors, and they were within a second, they had 💧DRS. And I wasn’t using DRS, I was ahe𒉰ad,” he said.

“So that didn’t compromise, at all.”

George Russell escaped penalty in Bahrain

🧜Russell was under investigation for opening the DRS on his Mercedes outside of the designat🏅ed DRS zone, but escaped sanctions.

He explained post-race tha�🐼�t when he hit the radio button it instead opened the DRS.

“They were technical problems. I backed off,” he said. “[It was open for] less than a second. I don’t ꩲknow how it got triggered.

“There were problems with the tr🦄ansponder sending signals to t🅰he car.

“I was losing everything on my steering wheel, I had no data on it, I was 🤪really compromise꧋d on my last stint.

“It would be excepti💛onally harsh if [I was punished].”

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff praised Russell’s “amazing𓂃” drive despite grappling with numerous problems.

“It’s the driver who saved the result today,” Wolff told Sky Sports F1. “The brake w💫ire was kicking o🏅ut and he saved it without losing time.

“That’s amazing. It’s almost indescribable if that happens to you. He nurtured the soft tyres well. He d♚efended in the right ways. Hats off to George.”

On the DRS issue, Wolff added: “The DRS beacon failed. The automatic DRS, the F1 signal, basically failed. So🎶 you had to open it manual💃ly.

“He touchedꦿ the button and closed it again immediately. There wasn’t any performance advantage.”
