‘Not good enough from my side’ - George Russell on costly shunt in Canadian Grand Prix

Russell ran fourth in the early stages of Sunday’s race in Montreal, right behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso and Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
His strong race was undone by a crash at the Turn 8-9 chicane on Lap 12, ꦏresulting in the only Safety Car of the race.
Surprisingly, Russell was able to continue after heading in🐈to the pit lane for a new front wing and fresh tyres.
Running inside the top 10, his race ultimately came to a premature end when Mercede♎s🦩 saw a brake issue on his car.
Explaining the incident after the race, he sa💫id: “I just went a bit deep 🌺into the right-hander and into the left I just touched kerb.
“I clearly hit it꧒ with the bottom of the car and the next thing 🐠I knew I was up in the air. When I landed I was in the wall.
“I’m kicking myself because it’s such a small error but with big consequences, but that’s how it is on circuits 𝄹like this. Not good enough from my side.”

2009 F1 champion Jenson Button described Russell’s shunt as 🌜“unusual” and that he “won’t sleep well tonight”.
"Most corners around the world you wo🍸uld be fine as you can run wide. But you have the walls up against the kerb here,” he said. “It’s tricky.
"It's unusual for George to make a mistake like that. It will hit home. He won't sleep well tonight and wake up upset with himself. It's a lo🦄t of points lost which we don't normally say with Mercedes♎ but for them they are in a fight with Aston."
