Russell crashed o♔ut on the final lap of the race at the Marina Bay Street Cir𝔉cuit while running in third-place.

The British driver looked on course to win the race thanks to𝔉 a ballsy strategy fro𓂃m Mercedes to pit under the Virtual Safety Car for fresh rubber.

Russell was unable to pass the McLaren of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - who was in between him and race leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

On Lap 62, Russell brushed the wall on the ✃entry of Turn 10 before clattering in the wall.

Russell admitted he was “heartbroken” after the race - but teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and team bo✨ss Toto Wolff were🥂 quick to voice their support.

Spea♍king in Japan, Russell vowed not to repeat his Singapore error in the fꩵuture.

“Disappo🌺inting to end in that way,” he told Sky. “I got to be🌌 honest, it's history now. I am here to fight for victories, I am here to fight for championships. 

“We want to go all in for a victory and make sure that we secure second place. I can 🐟tell you it won’t happen when we’re fighting for a championship.”

Ruℱssell revealed that Mercedes’ trackside engineering ch🔜ief Andrew Shovlin called him after the race to support him.

“On Sunday night Shov [Shovlin] 🍰gave me a phone call and basically said ‘look don’t worry about it, the only reason we were th𝓡ere and had a chance of victory was because of the amazing job we did the whole weekend,” he added. 

“The qualifying performa♛nce and🌄 the pace we showed’ so that gave me a lot of piece of mind. I knew that myself to be honest. I knew that myself and I take pride in that. We went all in for the victory. 

“We’re pushing ourselves above and beyond every single lap, we’re going against the best drivers in the world and on a circuit like that you’ve only got to make the mistake by a couple of centimetres and you’re off. Clearly got distracted or either lost concentration. I saw🐻 Lando touch the wall and I think I’ve clearly followed him and done it even more.”
