“The team have done an amazing 🔯job bringing all these upgrades to the car and finally, this hard work is translating into results.”

Asked if he tꦆhinks victory could be on the ꦅcards on Sunday, Russell replied: “Yeah absolutely, I see no reason why not.

“Ferrari were not in the mix 🦩today but it’s been getting increasingly close between all the teams and it’s really great to see.

“Let’s ꧋see how it pans out tomorrow and let’s see how it pans out in the coming races.

“I see no reason why we can’t fight for vi𒁏ctory. We’ve had the fastest 🎐car this weekend and I’m feeling really good behind the wheel.”

Russell added: “But there’s a lot of unknowns. We’ve got this new tarmac, we had no reꦛal practice to understand how tꦑhe tyres are degrading.

“I think we saw in practice three this morning, as soon as t🔯hey go, they really go. We’re going to have to play the long game.

“But I’ll have a good night’s s𝕴leep tonight and go for it tomorro♛w!”
