George Russell of Mercedes grabbed pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix even though championship leader Max Verstappen matched the Briton's qualifying time on Saturday.
George Russell beat Max Verstappen to pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday when the pair shared a best lap time of one minute and 12.000 seconds.In a dramatic conclusion to a closely-contested qualifying session, Mercedes' Russell was unable to improve on his Q2 time while Red Bull's series leader and three-time world champion shaved more than a second off his lap.
"Congrats to Mr Russell," said his friend Norris."I am happy with third. A good job by us so I am happy and excited."Yuki Tsunoda was eighth in the second RB ahead of Lance Stroll in the second Aston Martin and Williams Alex Albon with the two Ferraris failing to make the top ten shootout.Charles Leclerc, an emotional home winner of the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks earlier, qualified 11th and team-mate Carlos Sainz 12th.
Verstappen set the early pace before Norris and Russell took command. A flurry of fastest laps in the final minutes left Perez facing early elimination just days after extending his Red Bull contract. On their final flying runs, Norris went top and Tsunoda second while Verstappen, down in 14th, saved himself and secured a place in the top ten shootout – but both Ferraris failed to make it.
