Russell crashed out on the final lap of the race at the Marina Bay Street C💞ircuit while running in third-place.

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

Russell was unable to pass the McLaren of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris - who was in between him and race leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz.

On Lap 62, Russell brushed the wall on the entry of Turn 10 before clattering in t🔴hಌe wall.

Russell admitted he was “heartbroken” after the race - but teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and team boss Toto Wꩵolff were quick to voice their support.

Speaking in Ja♑pan, Russell vowed not to repeat his Singapore error in the future.

“Disappointing to end in that way,” he told Sky. “I got to be♛ 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 champio🐭nship.”

Russell revealed that Mercedes’ trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin called him after the rac𒊎e to support him.

“On Sunday night Sho෴v [Shovlin] gave me a phone call and basically said ‘look don’t worry about it, the only reason we were there and had a chance of victory was because of the amazing job we did the whole w🌱eekend,” 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 my▨self and I take pride in that. We went all in for the victory. 

“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 distract✅ed or either lost concentration. I saw Lando touch the wall and I think I’ve clearly followed him and done it even more.”
