After getting P4 in Canada, George says Mercedes’ “race pace was certainly closer to Ferrari and Red Bull”, but “that performance just isn’t there yet”.
Lewis Hamilton says “it’s been such a difficult year for me personally in the car”, so P3 at the Canadian Grand Prix feels “in a sense” as good as a win.
Wolff praises Russell for his attempt at a “hero moment”, and says had Hamilton been given “a better strategy”, he could have qualified “further ahead”.
George Russell switched to slick tyres in his last flying lap at the Canadian GP Qualifying, but the gable didn’t pay off. However, he is glad he “went for it”.
