George Russell's conclusions after the qualifications in the Hungarian great prize

“It was a very strange session. Everyone was much slower in the third qualification session. I am not going to be too harsh with me after this day. I was slowly slower than the first, and the rest were three or four slower tenths.

The fourth position, if we look at what was on Friday and this morning, is clear a big step forward. Regarding why it could be tomorrow, I have no idea.The temperature of the track at the end of Q3 was 37 degrees, but 20 minutes before the qualifications was 55 degrees. This will play a huge role in our performance. I hope I can fight at least with Charles, but also the Aston Martin seem to be surprisingly powerful, ”said George Russell.

I don't know, in the last round I had no adhesion on my back. He had completely disappeared. From the first turn I had a massive skid, and then everything worsened in the tour. I don't know what to say. Obviously it's pretty frustrating because I was trusting. Again, things didn't go as we wanted. Certainly the car was better and gave me confidence, which was pleasant. That's why it's very frustrating. The rhythm is there and it is a shame that we could not show it.
