Russell has endured a scrappy Belgian Grand Prix weekend as he’s been out-qualified by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

The former Williams driver ruined Hamilton’s final lap in the shootout after locking up at La Source, costing the seven-time world champion a potential pole p❀osition for ဣthe sprint.

Despite hiꦉs struggles in qualifying, Russell has fared well in the races, recovering from 18th on the grid in Hungary to finis😼h sixth.

He enjoyed a late charge in the sprint race, finishing eighth after passing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon.

Despi💟te his tidy comeback, Russell labelled it as a “difficult weekend” before explaining why he’s been struggling recently. 

• Hamilton’s verdict on clash with “pretty slow” Perez: "Bit of a racing incid🎶ent"

“It’s been a difficult weekend for us,” he saiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd. “I feel like my mojo is back, a little bit.

“I’ve not ♕been comfortable whatsoever. I’m not sure what’s going on. I almost feel like I’m going to crash whenever I push the car. Qualifying has always been one of my strengths, I’ve always been super comfortable in quali. Now? It’s my biggest weakness of the past two races.

"We started P18 last weekend on a track where you can’t overtake and finished P6. Tomorrow we start P8 and have a better race car than quali. It’s the turning phase. It’s not helped by having a lot of bouncing this weekend. As I’m turning, the car is hopping around and I feel like, if I push harder, I’ll end up in the wall. I pushed in quali and, every🦩 time I did, I went off the track.”

• Wolff has ‘moved on’ from “polariꩲsing” Hamilton-Perez incident

Re🍨flecting on the sprint itself, he added: “In a six-lap race we overtook four cars, we were the quickest on track after Max. Relativel🅷y satisfied.

“It was my choice to pꦏit one lap after the restart which ultimately was the incorrect decision. I lost two or three positions.

“By stayingജ out two more ඣlaps we’d have been maybe three positions higher.”
