George Russell takes Mercedes’ first pole position of the season ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the Canadian Grand Prix.
George Russell took Mercedes’ first pole position of the season ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Ferrari failed to get either car into the top 10, Charles Leclerc 11th after winning last time out in Monaco, with team-mate Carlos Sainz 12th. Russell, whose last pole was at the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix, said: “Amazing. It feels so good. So much hard work back at the factory has gone into this. We said in Monaco that we hoped this was the start of something for our season and I think it is.
Mercedes actually lost pace in the final session - their lap times in the second part of qualifying were even faster. Russell was 0.258secs faster then, and Hamilton 0.2secs slower but still faster than the eventual pole time. At RB, on the day it was announced Yuki Tsunoda would be staying at the team in 2025, Daniel Ricciardo sent a message by out-qualifying the Japanese for a grand prix for only the second time this season.
