“It was fantastic, I didn’t expect to have so much pace”
In the comments sent by Motor sports, George Russell he couldn’t hide his joy after Saturday’s sprint victory. He thinks he’s been rewarded for all the work he’s done over the past few weeks. “It was incredible, I didn’t expect to have so much pace, but I think it shows how hard the team has worked and how much progress has been made in the last three races with the car from Austin. The car is very good, we don’t know how Max would have behaved with the soft tires but it’s still nice to be here. It’s hard, isn’t it, because it’s a Sprint, so you have to manage the risk and the reward. »
“We are in a good position to have different strategies and aim for victory”
Instead George Russell will start the race in pole position this Sunday, the British driver admits he will be wary Max Verstappen. However, he wants to finish the job well by wanting to win the Grand Prix in Brazil. “Even though I was dying to get this win, I didn’t want to take too many risks, which would have made me lose points and start from behind. It’s crazy to think that we both start from the front row and that Lewis did a great job coming back from eighth, so it’s exciting. It’s absurd to think that we both start from the front row. Max will fly tomorrow, but we are in a good position to have different strategies and aim for victory. »
