George Russell (Mercedes, pole position winner at the British GP): “What an emotion! At the start of the season, we couldn’t have even dreamed of being on pole and here we are on the front row with Lewis. The car is so good at the moment and it came to life in qualifying. We are in a very good period at the moment, but we are concentrating on tomorrow (Sunday) because we have a race to win and it will be close with Lando (Norris) and Max (Verstappen).”
Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes, 2nd): “Three Brits in the top 3 is incredible. Big congratulations to George (Russell), he did a superb job. We didn’t expect to be on the front row this weekend, it’s huge for the team. The car was fantastic, the whole team deserves it.
The car was really good, I was able to put it in the right window when I needed to. In the end, there was still a bit of time to gain on my side because George managed to do it. But I am confident for the race with the car we have. With these conditions, we will be able to work together to keep Lando (Norris) behind us.
Lando Norris (McLaren, 3rd): “George (Russell) and Lewis (Hamilton) put in some good laps and did a really good job. I made a little mistake at the end but third is not so bad. It will probably rain tomorrow (Sunday), it will be a good race. We are fast and I know I can fight against George and Lewis. Hopefully there will be some good battles and I am looking forward to it.”
