168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell wants a “proper race” at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix after McLaren’s teamwork between 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri resulted in an “infuriating” sprint event.

Russell finished behind the two McLarens in the shorter 19-lap sprint race at the Lusa♍il International Ci𒆙rcuit.

The Mercedes driver was frustrated by the tactics deployed by McLaren, with Norris backing off on purpose to give teammate Piastri DRS ⛦which allowed him to fend off Russell.

Russell said after the sprint: “I understand why they did that but when you’re out here and fighting and you want to put a race on fo🀅r the fans, it was just pretty infuriating.”

Fast forward to qualifying, Russell put his Mercedes on the front row of the grid after he was pipped to pole by four-time F1 world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

More importantly, Russell beat the two McLarens in qualifying as he goes inౠ search of back-to-back victories.

Reflecting on his P2 qualifying position, Russell couldn’t resist a little dig towards McLaren after how they handled the sprint rꦰace.

“Just excited,” he said. “Hopefully we💦 can have a proper race rather than this team orders stuff. It’s going♛ to be a good race. I think we’ll all be going for it.  It’s actually great that Max is in the mix as well.

🎶“I was really surprised by their turnaround because they looked really off the pace yesterday, off the pace this morning, and obviously they were both in Q3 and Max in pole, so I think we’ve got a good 💎race on our hands.”

“It’s been a great run 🅠so far,” he added. “The last four quali♌fyings we’ve been on the front row every one, which I don’t think we could have dreamt of a few races ago.  I’m feeling in such a groove at the moment, feeling really great.

“My first lap was one of the best I’ve ever done and then for whatever reason, I just couldn’t find that extra bit of time on the last lap and Max pipped me. But just taking the♊ positives. 

“The car’s been so great the laܫst two weekends, and just enjoying it while we can.”
