SUZUKA, Japan (Reuters) - George Russell put his Singapore Grand Prix crash behind him on Thursday and said he would not make such a costly mistake when Mercedes were again fighting for Formula One championships.

The Briton crashed on the final lap of Sunday's race while in third place and, on fresher tyres, hot on the heels of McLaren's Lando Norris and Ferrari's eventual winner Carlos Sainz.
