Ride onboard with Russell for pole lap in Canada

George Russell has secured his maiden pole position of the 2024 season, setting an 'exhilarating' lap to claim the top spot for the Canadian Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver will start alongside Max Verstappen on the front row after delivering a stunning 1 minute 10.899 second lap on medium Pirelli tyres in his final run. This impressive performance saw him finish more than a tenth and a half clear of Verstappen in the final classification. Russell significantly improved his time from his first attempt around the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, and despite improvements from Verstappen and championship leader Oscar Piastri, he held on to secure his first pole since last season's Qatar Grand Prix.
