The Mercedes driver picked up a five-second time penalty for skipping the Rettifilo chicane and staying ahead of Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon during a tussle in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.

Despite the penalty, Russel🅷l finished fifth, one place ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton, who was also hit with a time penalty for causing a collision with McLaren’s Osca🐟r Piastri. 

"I knew that there had to b꧟e a maximised out-lap, and I came out of the pits right behind or next to Ocon," Russell explai✃ned. 

"I knew if I fell behind him, my chance ꦓto undercut the guys ahead would d𓆉isappear. I went in very hot into Turn 1, knowing there was a bit of a risk to miss the corner, and that's what happened.

"In Monza, it's a bit of a shame, because it's always a bit of a 'get out of jail free' card with the run-off there. And that gives drivers, espe🤪cially when you're fighting, the chan꧑ce to miss the corner. 

“So I'd probably like to see a bit of a change in that corner in the future.𒁃”

Russell said he ✱was willing to risk the potential penalty because he knew it was unlikely to impact his race. 

"I knew that P5 was probably the worst that we could have achieved, considering the gap to the guy in🐻 P6.

"So it would have only compromised me if it was a safety car right at the end [and♛ the field bunched up]."
