Russell feared worst in ‘absolutely crazy’ qualifying storm

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


George Russell will start sixth on the grid in the Brazilian Grand Prix after being caught out of position as a weather front hit the Interlagos circuit.

George Russell was initially convinced he would be last in the “absolutely crazy” Q3 session at the São Paulo Grand Prix qualifying. However, due to a rapidly advancing storm, the session was cut short and the starting order was determined by track position. Despite a shaky start to his lap, Russell completed his effort and ended up in sixth place.

He was disappointed with his lap, citing lack of grip and sliding around on the wet track. However, he didn’t see rain on his visor and was surprised to find out he wasn’t last. Starting in sixth place is not a bad position, and Russell believes Mercedes has done a great job with the car’s performance.

While Aston Martin has shown strong form, Russell is hopeful that Mercedes’ race pace will be better. He expects a two or three-stop race, leaving room for strategy and opportunities to move up the field.
