After his surprise win at the Austrian Grand Prix, George Russell says “you’ve got to be there to pick up the pieces and that’s where we were”.
George Russell spent most of his Austrian Grand Prix in P3, but after Max Verstappen and Lando Norris collided during their fight for the lead, George managed to pick up the win from under them.
Afterwards, he promised there’s “more to come” from Mercedes.
“Incredible,” George said.
“It was a tough fight out there at the beginning of the race just to hold onto P3. I saw Max and Lando were going pretty hard and I knew Lando would want that win.
“The team have done an amazing job to put us in this fight. You’ve got to be there to pick up the pieces and that’s where we were.

“They [Verstappen and Norris] were going for it. I couldn’t believe how close we were to Lando and Max.
“We were only about 12 seconds behind and I knew it [the collision] was a possibility. You are always dreaming.
“Just so proud to be back on the top step. We have made so many strides since the start of the season. The last few races have been incredible.
“More to come,” the Briton concluded.
