George Russell hails ‘epic’ F1 Canadian GP pole lap that ‘came from nowhere’
“George Russell’s last-minute pole lap at the Canadian Grand Prix brought him immense joy after struggling with pace in qualifying.
Despite being the driver to beat over the weekend, Russell faced stiff competition from his Mercedes team-mate and title rival, Kimi Antonelli.
Russell’s previous success in Montreal didn’t guarantee him an easy run, as he had to fight hard to secure pole position in the final moments of Q3.
The warm and dry weekend took a turn as rain is expected for the race, leaving Russell to adapt to new conditions that impacted his performance in qualifying.
Following discussions with Mercedes, Russell is prepared to give his all in the fierce competition for the World Championship title.”
