Hamilton could only qualify fifth, a whopping 0.9s down on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc. 

Mercedes introduced a number of small upgrades for Baku, wit🧜h❀ their major update expected to arrive in time for Imola.

Reflecting on Friday’s qualifying session, Russell said: “We are not f💯ast enough this weekend, obviously. I would have loved to have been in Q3. I gave it everything. 

“The♍ lap was strong. I made a mistake in my last one - it might have crept me into Q3. It’s a funny sport this. From qualifying on the f🦩ront row last week to both of us, well myself, being out in Q2 then Lewis just getting in with P10.

“We have another chance tomorrow but it’s not ideal. I wa꧑sn’t feeling great in practice, I would have loved to do a few more laps. We sat in the garage for quite a long time doing a few bits and bobs.

“It’s easy in hindsight to say ‘could have, should have, would ha🍸ve’. It’s a learning for this sprint race. Last sprint race, we hit the ground runnin🍨g. This one has been the opposite. That’s the way it goes with these events.

“Right n💎ow we wouldn’t know what to change, to find the pace we need around this track. It is𒐪 unique, an outlier.”

Despite a poor qua𓄧lifying, Russell is confident of recovering in Sunday’sဣ main grand prix.

“Compared to the first three races, of all the tracks to have a bad qualifyꦯing?ಞ” Russell added. 

“This is onᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe to do it. I😼 see no reason why we can’t fight back on Sunday.”
