168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell intends to make life difficult for pole-sitter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in the sprint race in Qatar.

Russell qualified second, behind Norris, in sprint qualifying at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix on Friday.

That🌃 is despite "confusing" his Mercedes and losing time at a crucial time, which he regretted.

The in-form Mercede⛄s driver has vowed to fight his McLaren counterpart for victory in Saturday’s sprint.

“Yeah definitely,” he insisted. “They’re in a cha𒁏mpionship fight,💎 we’ve got nothing to lose.

“We’re going for the big results. W🌸e’ll try and make a good start.

“Of course the sprint is just a sprint, we need to put our f♑ocus on qualifying as well. So far, so𒅌 good.”

The sprint race on Satuꦗrday comes before qualifying for the grand prix. The long ra🎃ce is on Sunday.

Russell is fr𝓰esh off victory at last weekend’s F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and wants more at the penultimate round of the sea🐷son.

He said about his W15 on Friday: “Felt really str💯ong all session, the car was really great and this circuit is really one of the best.

“When you get ๊in the groove and that rhythm, it’s so fast.

“I went flat through the high-speed for the first time on my final lap in Q3 and confꦐused the engine a little bit.

“I don’t know how much I lost, but I 🦋had 💯a big recharge on the exit of the corner because I went through it flat.

“⛄But that was a bit annoying when I nailed it, and then lost a bi🌄t of speed on the exit.

“But I think Lando was just a smidge out of reaꦍch.”

Norris’ drivers’ title hope🐻s ended in Las Vegas when Verstappen did enough to wrap up his fourth title꧑ in a row.

But McLaren still lead 🎉the constructors’ championship, with Ferrari and Red Bull breathing down their necks.

For Russell, after victory ahead of te𒅌ammate Lewis Hamilton in Vegas, he is aiming to establish himself as Mercedes’ top man ahead of 2025.

When Hamilton goes to Ferrari next year, Ru🏅ssell will be the senior driver alongside Kimi Antonelli.
