For us as a team this is massive George Russell

was ecstatic after his achievement and was quick to point out that this was a massive result for the team. He said: “For us as a team, [this] is massive. Yesterday was probably our toughest Friday of the whole season. We were all here until 11pm last night, scratching our heads. Morale was pretty down and we felt pretty lost. To come back and grab pole position 24 hours later, it’s just such a feeling because I know what we went through last night. There are no points for qualifying but, I guess, getting this result, for all of us is pretty, pretty huge.” “I think today we just got it perfectly in the window on that last lap. I went round Turn 1 a tenth and a half up. I went round Turn 2 three tenths up and everything was just perfectly in the window. When you’re on one of those laps and you’re in the groove, in the rhythm, it just keeps on coming and keeps on coming.” “I think everybody struggled quite a lot with the tyres, a lot of people struggled this morning in the wet with the tyres and we’ve been going all over the place to try and get our heads around it. But, fortunately, we sort of nailed it on that last run!” will be lining up alongside and it will be interesting to see what kind of result the Mercedes driver can pull out of the car.
