Russell clinched his second F1 career pole position, taking it ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen after the pair set identical lap times.
It ca🍰pped off a remarkable resurgence for Mercedes, which showed outstanding pace throughout practice.
Hamilton topped the timesheets by nearly 0.4s, leading Russell to look into the se✨ven-time world champion’s telemetry to understand how to get faster.
“This morning Lewis was absol꧙utely flying and he was well ahead of 💫me,” Russell said.
“I had to look a lot into his data to try to understand what he was doing differe✃ntly. And, to be honest, that helped me a huge amount.
“So ahead of this qualifying, I’m just so glad tha🍬t we could pull it off, because I feel like we really deserve all of this hard work we’ve been putting in.
“And the car has been feeling awesom♉e this weeℱkend.”
It’s been a tough year so far Mercedes, with the tea🔴m yet to fiཧnish on the podium in 2024.
Russell was pleased to show that M꧋ercedes’ hard work back at base is finally paying off.
“Such a buzz🌳,” Russell ad🍃ded. “It’s been a while since we’ve experienced this feeling.
“There is so much hard work 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 paying off.”
Russell believes Mercedes are finally finding a “sweet spot” with ꦆtheir car.
“I thin🐓k we struggled a lot with understeer before,” he explained. “Last year, we had a lot of oversteer, and we’ve sort of been just trying to 🔯find the halfway house between what we had last year and what we had this year.
“And it feels like we’re 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.”
