168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has reacted to fears about Mer💙cedes’ cost cap after a series of crashes.

Russell lost control of his W15 in practice for the F1 Mexico City♓ Grand Pri🌠x, days after crashing in Texas too.

Lewis Hamilton also span oওut o🌼f last weekend’s race in America.

“We’ve had a few big, big shunts over the past few races,” Mercedes boss Wolff tꦺold Sky🔯 Sports in Mexico.

“The chassis waಌs dama𝔉ged. We can repair it but it won’t run here.

“The mood is up and down.”

He added: “Two big shunts, the chassis needs to be repaired for 🔯Brazil.

“It’s rough…”

Russell has little option but to run an o⛎lder spec of t💮he floor on his W15 after damaging the upgraded version.

But hﷺe insisted that the damage caused to Mercede🐎s’ parts won’t force them outside of the $135m budget cap.

“No, no concerns budget-cap because we've always got a bit of margin and𒆙 you're always weighing up what you put into this season versus what you put into next season,” he said.

“Now, potentially, we may have to compromise the rest of this season, which, to be honest, I'd probably be in fa🌳vour for because we're not fightinജg for a championship.

“I'd be 🌄more than happy staying on the old floor if that gives us a better chance into next year.

“But, you know, I think we'll be able to repair the floor from Austin. I th🌌ink that's𝓰 the plan.

“It was📖n't as bad as we initiaꦅlly expected, and that should be out in Brazil.”

Russell will start the Mexico City Grand ⛎Prix from fifth on the grid, Hamilton is sixth.

Wolff said about their W15’s issues: “The car has a very na✤rrow band of where it functions well.

“When it was cold on a high-speed track, we were🌱 the 🃏quickest. Cold is good for us.

“When you hitꦅ it ri﷽ght, we can be quick on a single lap.

“The💙 overheating of the tyres makes everything exponentially worse.”
