George Russell (1st, 1:17.377): “I’m over the moon and absolutely buzzing. We didn’t know what direction to go in but on the last lap I came across the line, looked at the screen and saw we went P1, which was such an incredible feeling. The car didn’t feel good in FP3, but was strong in Qualifying. We didn’t know how strong our pace was and where it came from so it’s a very positive day for us. I don’t know where our race pace is going to be tomorrow, but hopefully we will be in a position to attack. He did a very good lap today and I look forward to the battle tomorrow.”. We showed good pace with both cars and we are confident we can do so tomorrow as well, when points are on offer. We got out of Q1 pretty well, but we just didn’t have the speed to get into Q3. We’re here to fight and tomorrow that’s what we’ll be doing.
