Russell bounces back to beat Antonelli in sprint qualifying
Gulf Today
|May 24, 2026
George Russell bounced back on Friday to claim pole position in qualifying for Saturday's sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix ahead of championship leader and Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
-
The 28-year-old Briton had been outpaced earlier by the Italian teenager who is seeking a fourth consecutive Grand Prix win on Sunday, but proved he retains the resilience and pace to handle mounting pressure.
Russell topped the times in 1min 12.965sec to beat Antonelli by 0.068sec in a tight session extended by a lengthy red flag stoppage after two-time champion Fernando Alonso crashed in his Aston Martin.
“It feels great after a tough Miami, but I never doubted myself,” said Russell.
“I knew what I could do. Miami was a bit unique, but it’s high grip here and it feels like you're driving a proper F1 car around here, which is how it should be.
