George Russell Shines with Fourth Fastest Time in Qualifying, While Lewis Hamilton Struggles at Track

George Russell showed the fourth fastest time in qualifying and will start the race from the second row, and Lewis Hamilton dropped out of the race already in the second session …

George Russell (4th): “I am very happy. I think this is a fair result, but during the session there was no confidence.

I went out on the track and in one attempt there was no grip, and in another I was driving at MacLaren’s pace until they pulled away in the final.

The balance of the car is completely dependent on the conditions. As the direction of the wind changed, the balance changed immediately, so we had to change. “

Lewis Hamilton (12th): “Unsuccessful session. These things happen, and now this situation is in the past, but it does not cause pleasant feelings.

All the trouble started with Perez, from the moment he got close to him on a fast lap. I did everything I could to get out of the line, move as far to the left as possible, but the timing was bad. Then the “domino effect” started – it got worse and worse.”
