Mercedes fans rejoice as George Russell takes his first ever Formula One pole position out of nowhere at the Hungarian Grand Prix

Mercedes’ young talent George Russell has finally secured his first ever pole position in Formula One. The day has finally arrived at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2022.

Previously back at the Sakhir Grand Prix in 2020, Russell missed out on the pole by just 0.026s behind Valtteri Bottas. He was actually Lewis Hamilton’s replacement, who was out due to Covid-19.

The Briton qualifies ahead of Ferrari’s duo Carlos Sainz Jr and Charles Leclerc. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen had an engine power issue, so he could only qualify 10th.
