George Russell isn’t happy despite P2
The Australian Grand Prix qualification has been the best session by Mercedes, by far. The team not only managed to grab the front row but also finished their session a place behind.
However, the young driver was still disappointed at missing out on the pole position to Max Verstappen. However, he said after the session that the performance was unexpectedly great.

The 25-year-old credited the engineers back at Brackley for the superb show at Albert Park. With things looking to have improved for them, the W-14 felt alive for him and the lap was on the limit for him.
Mercedes pulled off a stunner in Melbourne
For the first in the Silver Arrows’ history in 2023, the Brackley-based team managed to pull off a stunner. While Albert Park has always been a happy hunting ground for the German team, the recently concluded session has been proof of that.
The team that spent most of its time behind Aston Martin and Ferrari, has come ahead to put themselves right behind the Red Bull of Verstappen and ahead of the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso.
As for the drivers, Russell managed to out-qualify his veteran teammate Lewis Hamilton for the third time in a row. Mercedes starts tomorrow’s race in P2 and P3, respectively, and will definitely look for a win and two podium places.
