Russell vows Singapore error

Russell crashed out on the final lap of the race at the Marina B🎐ay Street Circ🎉uit while running in third-place.

The British driver looked on course to win the race thanks to a ballsy strategy from Mercedes to pಌit under the Virtual Safety Car for fresh ꦓrubber.

Russell was unable to pass the McLaren of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - who was in between him and race leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

O𒁃n Lap 62, Russell brushed the wall on the entry of Turn 10 before clattering in the wall.

Russell admitted he was “heartbroken” after the race - but teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and teaﷺm bossꦕ Toto Wolff were quick to voice their support.

Speaking in Japan, Russe🌳ll vowed not to repeat his Singapore error in the f🥀uture.

“Disappoint🍰ing to end in that way,” he told Sky. “I got to b💫e honest, it's history now. I am here to fight for victories, I am here to fight for championships. 

“We want to go all 🍬in for a victory and make sure that we secure second place. I can tell you it won’t happen when we’re fighting for a championship.”

Russell revealed that Mercedes’ trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin c🌳alled him after the race to support him.

“On Sunday night Shov [Shovlin] gave me a phone call and basically said ‘look don’t worry about it, the only re🐼ason we were there and had a chance of victory was because of the amazing job we did the whole weekend,” he added. 

“The qualifying performance and the pace we showed’ so that gave me a lot of piece of mind. I knew that myself to be honest. I knew that myself and I take pride in that. We went all inꩲ for the ℱvictory. 

“We’re pushing ourselves above and beyond every single lap, we’re going against the best drivers in the world and on a circuit like that you’ve only got to make the mistake by a🍒 couple of centimetres and you’re off. Clearly got distracted or either lost concentration. I saw Lando touch the wall and I think I’ve clearly followed him and done it even more.”
