Russell was forced to retire from the Bahrain Grand Prix at Malaysia F1 race after 49 laps on Sunday.
Analysis:Russell was slower than Mercedes teammate and Championship rival Kimi Antonelli all weekend, though he was still in position for a podium finish in the final laps of the race. However, as the race was about to restart from a safety car, Russell was forced to retire due to a power unit problem. He now sits 84 points behind Antonelli in the Drivers' standings, and his chances of winning the Championship are rather slim.
