168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell lamented Mercedes' “fundamental error” after he didn't have enough fuel to compete at the end of F1 qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Russell was🎀 a surprise early🌟 exit at the Hungaroring as he returned to the pit lane as track conditions improved in Q1.

The Mercedes driver was one of the first drivers back out on track following thꦚe red flag period.

After improving up t🐭he order, Russell returned to the pit lane as the rest of the field - aside from the Alpines and Perez - circulated. 

This proved to be 🔥the wrong decision as a number of drivers improved, demoting Russell into the drop-zone.

Russell initia൩lly took responsibility for the Q1 exit: "Yeah. Sorry about t🌸his session, guys. It's on me."

Before voicing his frustration to the team over team radio: "W🦹hy are we not putting enough fuel in the car to comp🐎lete the session?"

Speaking after the session, Russell explained ꦗthe two factors behind his surprise Q1 exit.

“There were two factors - the first was I didn’t do a good enough job at the beginning and that was why I was down in P15,” he said. “And the next one was we put th🌌e new tyres on at the end and we didn’t have enough fuel to complete the session.

“We were on track when it was wettest, and when it was dry we had no fuel. It was a disaster fr♛om both aspects. We should have got through comfortably on that last lap but we had no fuel. That was on me for being in that situation in the first place.”

“Having enough fuel for the whole session is fundamental, sꦅo as a team we made a big error.”
