George Russell has stated his poor start at the Hungarian Grand Prix can be added to the list of shortcomings he’s endured this year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Russell started the Budapest race from sixth on the grid but was quickly demoted to the rear of the field after his engine went into anti-stall.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Briton was forced into a recovery drive and made his way into seventh by the chequered flag, but he still lost points in the standings to team-mate Kimi Antonelli, who finished third.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Russell has endured various setbacks at recent events, having been eliminated on the opening lap at Spa-Francorchamps just one week ago.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Explaining what happened at the start, Russell told Sky F1: \u201cI was on the throttle waiting, then all of a sudden the engine was going all over the place, it was revving really high and really low.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAdd it to the list of things that have happened in the first half of this year and pray things calm down in the second half.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Russell now sits 59 points down on Antonelli as the season enters the summer break.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
But despite the latest blow to his title charge, Russell is attempting to stay upbeat about his prospects.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m staying positive,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cI\u2019ve gone through being so disappointed with everything that\u2019s happened in the first half of the year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAt one point you need to pick yourself up and accept there are a lot of things out of your control that may work against you.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are things in my control I need to do better and I will continue to work on that but of course I\u2019m not happy with how things have gone, but I\u2019m going to stay positive and keep on pushing.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Russell has stated his poor start at the Hungarian Grand Prix can be added to the list…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-828691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
