🗣️ 'The fact we've probably managed to find more performance in a week than we found in almost a month over the winter, that's promising.' GeorgeRussell63 says it's 'incredibly satisfying' to see improved Mercedes F1 pace in SaudiArabianGP qualifying:
, the Briton was buoyed by a much-improved performance from his W14 after doing plenty of experimental set-up testing on Friday, in conjunction with overnight work back at home in Brackley.
"As a driver, I'm doing all I can to help push the team forward and develop, work more than I've ever worked on a simulator and trying things," Russell said. "And when you come to a track and as a team deliver something more than you could have hoped and expected, that's incredibly satisfying. "One small part of the brain is frustrated that we're not fighting for poles and victories but, as a driver, you've got to dim that out and just focus on maximising the performance. And I'm incredibly satisfied with what we achieved today.
"We've got a lot of good tools. We've got a good simulator back at base, we've got a good group of people. And I think the work we did overnight, the work we did this morning, we got it in a really, really decent window."
