George Russell claims pole at Canadian Grand Prix qualifying

sportsMay 24, 202640643

George Russell took pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, edging Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli in qualifying. Lewis Hamilton said Ferrari's SF-26 has been transformed after tweaks introduced in Miami, putting Ferrari back into contention for race pace. Russell starting from pole gives Mercedes track position and forces the team to manage intra-team rivalry, shaping strategy for Sunday's race and the fight for victory.

Delighted does not describe how I feel about George Russell finally getting his shot at being the alpha dog and discovering there’s an 18 year old driver too young to understand fear or consequences right on his ass

Hard to believe Kimi is that fast with balls the size of goddamned watermelons

Such a good race between these two. Can't believe it ends like this for George. Undeserved.

And now Kimi Antonelli will easily win a race where he looked pretty bad at driving an F1 car. At least George Russell will not instead win a race where he looked pretty bad at driving an F1 car.

A CRUEL END A downbeat George Russell has arrived back in the paddock following the power unit failure that brought an early end to his Canadian Grand Prix. He was greeted promptly by Toto Wolff before heading off to fulfil his usual media duties. #Canadiangp #mercedesamgf1 #f1news
