"We didn't think we had this pace, è unbelievable that we got back on pole and were so fast all weekend. I knew that the Q3 lap would be the one that counted and that it didn’t matter what I had done before" began the Mercedes driver to the microphones of "Sky Sports F1".
"I had a little scare on my first attempt, we had to change the front wing and then I thought I would not be able to cross the finish line in time to avoid the flag, but I am really very happy and the fact that we went soì fast this weekend è was a real surprise" added the former Williams.
"I had confidence in myself and I knew that if I did a clean lap it would be enough for the front row and to even be able to make pole è was incredible. I’ve done some good qualifying recently, but now we have to convert that into a win. Racing in Las Vegas è fantastic, there's a great atmosphere late at night and now I am excited for the race" concluded George Russell.
