168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has revealed he took inspiration from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso’s blistering start from theღ Spanish Grand Prix 13 years ago as he claimed the lead on the opening lꩲap.

Russell overtook 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris into🅠 the first corner with a ballsy overtake around the outside of Turn 1.

The൩ Mercedes driver sat in Verstappen’s slipstream before veering to the left, sweeping around the outside and taking the lead of the race.

While it was all in vain, as Russell lost the lead of the race shortly after🐲 to Verstappen, it was a stunning move.

Alonso similarly took the lead of the race from fourth on the grid on the 🏅opening lap of the 2011 Spanish Grand Prix.

The Spaniard overtook the two Red Bulls and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton into T♛urn 1 after tactically using hi🦩s KERS system with some impressive car control.

Speaking after the race to select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top in Barcelona, Russell admitted he was “dreaming” of a similar start last night and referenced Alonso’s mega getaway in 2011ꦡ.

“Yeah, I was kind of dreaming of it last night and what my plan of attack was,” he said. “I saw the weather forecast and the wind had shifted to a headwind in Turn 1, which I k𝔉new meant I could brake really late𓆏 and deep into the corner.

“Yeah, I always, when I was racing karts, I always remember 🦹watching Fernando here in 2012 [2011], starting P4 and getting into the lead. So, I always knew it was possible.”

Despite taking the lead, Russell 🥀could oꩲnly finish fourth.

Russell lost out to Norris through the pit stop phase before⛦ being overtaken by Hamilton, who opted for the softs rather than h♛ards in the final stint.

Russell conc🙈eded the hard tyre choice was “pretty rubbish🤡”.

“Yeah, a little bit,” he added. “I think just a few small things went against us today. You 🐼know, the slow pit stop then put us on the back foot in the middle stint and under a ♔bit of pressure. 

“And then, you know, lost a lot of time fighting with Lando, pitti🐓ng onto the hard tyre. That was pretty rubbish, but it protected the P3 and P4 as a team and that’s what we were kind of aiming for.”
