Russell grabs pole position for Canadian Grand Prix

The Briton was fastest in Saturday's qualifying.

George Russell with Mercedes will start from pole position for today's Canadian Grand Prix.

At the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal, the Briton was fastest in qualifying, ahead of four-time world champion Max Verstappen with Red Bull and McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, who finished second and third respectively.

Russell's teammate Kimi Antonelli, Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari), Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), Lando Norris (McLaren), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) and Alexander Albon (Williams) also entered the top 10. Hadjar, however, received a three-place grid penalty, which forced a rearrangement of top 10 that starts tonight, and Franco Colapinto (Alpine) was included in it. Albon will start from ninth position.

The Canadian Grand Prix is ​​today at 9:00 PM Bulgarian time. | BGNES
