The Mercedes dri🦩ver qualified third on the grid for Sunday’s race at the Red Bull Ring, behind McLaren’s Norris and Red Bull’s Verstappen, who stormed to a dominant pole position.

Last week in 💫Barcelona, Russell made an incredible start from fourth and swept p♏ast both Norris and Verstappen to move into the lead by Turn 1.

But the Briton has downplayed talk🙈 of🍎 a repeat, insisting he is going to “sit back and watch it all take place” instead.

“I think it’s a bit more challenging here,” Russell said. “I think these guys always get their elbows out. So maybe this time it’s,๊ you know, sit back and watch ♑it all take place.

“But I think, you know, last wee💜k I lost a lot of time battling with Lando and probably focused too much on the guys a💦head of me and ultimately that cost me the position to Lewis and almost to Charles as well.

“So, as I said, I think the 🌠race is behind 𝓰us tomorrow.”

Asked about Mercedes’ chances in the race, Russe♏ll said he expects Verstappen and McLaren to be out of reach.

“I think Lando and Oscar seem a little♕ bit quicker than us,” he explained. “Obviously Max is down the road at the moment.

“So I don’t know where O𓄧scar ended up finishing, but I’m confident Lewis and I ca💝n probably beat the Ferraris tomorrow and hopefully hold up Oscar’s progress.

“But it’s a long♌ race, high degradation, anything c🙈an happen.”
