Russell finished seve🦋nth at Suzuka after attempting an ambitious one🐟-stop strategy. 

It was an eventful race for Russell, who went head-to-head against his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

R🍌ussell was pushed off by Hamilton at Spoon Curve during the early stages of the rac𒊎e, resulting in a fiery radio message: “Who do we want to fight here, each other or the others?”

The drama didn’t stop there🔜 as Mercedes declined Russell’s suggestion to keep Hamilton behind him until th🔴e final lap to protect him from the fast-charging Carlos Sainz.

Despite being frustrated, Russell issued a calm🐼 response post-race to Sꦫky.

“It was definitely worth a punt,” he said. “The thre💧e-stop was closer, or faster, than the one-stop was. 

“But 𓂃the one-stop gave us a chance to be in P3 if there was a Safety Car or a red flag. 

“Ultima𒅌tely we did have a shot but the end result was a fair representat💎ion.

“When you’re in the car, 48 laps in, giving it everything, trying to make a suboptimal strategy work, that radio🦩 is a tool to release frustration. Overtaking was difficult, you saw Piastri with much fresher tyres, he didn’t fly by, it took him two laps and he only just achieved it. It’s easy in hindsight.”

Russell now eighth in the championship, moving behind McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in the standings.

“My goal now is to achieve P2 for the team in the constructors’. On my personalꦉ side, the driver’s is out of the window, it’s been a disaster of a season. So many missed chances,” he added.
