The timing of the Canadian Grand Prix was an unforgettable start! George Russell and Max Verstappen had the same regimental time result, so first place went to the Briton because he ran fast earlier. Lando Norris finished third by at least 21 thousandths of a second. Let's see how the three rated themselves after the gesture!
George Russell (Mercedes) – 1st place
“It's a great feeling! Hard work is behind the result. We worked a lot in the factory and after Monaco we thought our season would finally start and it did. Very good feeling. The crowd in Montreal is always very good, the energy is good, so I'm looking forward to the race. We've made the step “The first one, but the goal now is to win. I have to try to keep Max behind me. I feel good in the car. We have already made improvements in Monaco, and now we could really be in the fight tomorrow. We will do everything to win.”
Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – second place
“That's how it turned out. However, we finished a very good time trial. We've struggled so far this weekend, and it's not clear… so I'll accept second place, I would have accepted it before qualifying. It was a very close finish, so I should Tomorrow is an exciting race. We were also good in Monaco, but that was not our track. We were able to build a good weekend here, and the role of the tires will be important, as well as whether it will rain I don't know what it is “The strategy yet, we'll figure it out, it's not cumbersome.”
Lando Norris (McLaren) – third place
“I'm happy with the result and congratulations to Mr. Russell! He was very fast all weekend, so congratulations to him and Mercedes. I'm happy with third place. Things were tight all the time and we did well. I'm looking forward to the race. Montreal is one of the best places to be all year long.” The year! I love being here. It's very difficult, we always have it in our minds that we can finish the race, but the track is very good and it's always good to get into the top three. Do you need two overtakes tomorrow? It's almost nothing! Seriously, I'm excited, our car has been good all year, especially in the last few races we have two fast riders in front of us and others behind us, so it will be exciting.”
