Russell qualified third on the grid behind Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, while Hamilton ended up a disap🌼pointing ninth, 0.225 seconds behind his Mercedes teammate.
The seven-time world champion revea🃏led he wꦚent in a different direction with set-up compared to Russell in a bid to have a better race.
"Thursday, was really good. Me and George were on🎶 the same set-ups but he went 'left' and I went 'right'. 'Right' was definitely not good for a single lap but I felt more comfortable with more fuel, so I hope that reflects in the race," Hamilton explained.
"I've definitely sacrificed morꦓe than I hoped to and I hope it pays off. It's a lot of work to do to get past all those quick cars ahead of me but it will be fun.”
Russell slipp💞ed back to fifth in the grand prix, two places ahea🌳d of Hamilton who could only recover to seventh as both Mercedes drivers were hampered by unexpected power unit temperature issues.
After the ra🅷ce, Russell challenged Hamilton’s set-up clai🌺m.
“Many people have said this,” Russell said🐼 of Hamilton’s s🔴et-up choice.
“I don’t really know the big differences, to be honest, because as far as I’m aware with th💛e cars we’re pretty similar.
“I don’t really focus too much on his set-🐷up. Mine was actually more set up for the race than the set-up he ran. At🍎 least it was on Friday [for qualifying].”
Hamil𝓀ton reported several issues during the race including power issues and a broken seat.
“For a while like my battery was dead, so down the straig🍸hts I was just derating the whole way down the straight,” he explained.
“So I lost a lot of ground to t🔯he McLarens. I was fixing that out for some laps, and that took a good 10 laps, and I lost plenty of seconds through that.
“And then, after that, was just really trying to get back on it, and catch up, as soon we got that fixed. And then there w💞as a bit of overheating of the brakes. And then in general, the performance was so-so.”
