George Russell: Sao Paulo Grand Prix “our weakest race of the year” 12 months on from “our strongest”
Russell failed to make the chequered flag at Interlagos🅷 after concer📖ns over his engine.
Up until then, Russell was on course to finish a disappointing ninth, and would have likely been overtaken by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda for tenth had he not retired.
It capped off a miserable day for Mercedes as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton could only manage eighth.
“Clearly we got something wrong this weekend, still we’re not too sure what that is as yet, but the pace just hasn’t be꧟en there,” Russell♏ said.
“We thought yesterday may have been a one of🦩f, but clearly it wasn’t, so we need to regroup and try to understand it because 12 months ag▨o this was our strongest race of the year, 12 months later it’s by far our weakest race of the year, so very strange.”
⭕Assessing Mercedes’ performance, Russell conceded “something doesn’t add u🌼p” with the team ending Brazil as the sixth-fastest team.
“The car was just slow this weekend. The𒅌 tyres were sliding around and I think what we were doing was the maximum,” he added.
“Something doesn’t quite add up, you just♛ don🧜’t suddenly lose a second’s worth of performance and go from a podium fighting car to just fighting for points.
“We really need to sit down an♛d understand, but clearly a massive one off this week.”
