“I had to look a lot into his data to try to understand what he was doing differently. And, to be honest, tha𝓰t helped me a huge amount.
“So ahead of this qualifying, I’m just so glad that we could pull it off, because I feel like we 🎃really deserve all of this h💎ard work we’ve been putting in.

Ruಞssell was pleased to show that Mercedes’ hard work back at base is finally paying of🔯f.
“Such a buzz,” Russell added. “It’s been a while since we’ve expeཧrienced this fee🦄ling.
“There is so much hard wor🍌k going on behind the scenes back at Brackley and Brixworth and it’s been a little while to be able to sort of get back in the fight. It almost felt like all of that hard work hasn’t been pa♈ying off.”
Russell believes Mercedes are finall💧y finding a “sweet spot” with their car.

“And it feels like we’൲re sort of dialling in that sweet spot right now. It feels like it’s something we’ve been saying for a long time, in all honesty. But really, there is a sense of relief to actually see it translate into pole position.”
